Not necessarily.  My laptop typically accumulates uptimes of a week or
so before I reboot or put a new image (or crash), and it's on public
wifi for much of that time.  I'm glad this came up, since I hadn't
thought to disable passworded logins.

In any case, I think it's best to have a password required for the
user, but perhaps what the password is could be configurable?  Also,
if I can throw in a related request, it'd be nice to be able to change
the uid so that it matches my other machines and NFS works nicely at
home.
