Hello, For me the Debian Live systems are more than a Live CD to start and use, we can install them in hard disk, in USB memories, or in networks of computers; even we can create servers with a lot of functions, Doing the install in this way results in configurations that can be exactlly controlled, and reproduced with easy to other computers, simply changing the starting initrd and the parameters file "live.conf"
As more parameters live-initramfs has, the person who creates the Live system will be able to better parametrize Debian Live and the resultant system will respond with more accuracy to the needs of the users, I understand the modification of null password as another parameter to configure, with which the person who configures can decide if his own Debian Live will use users with password or without. sure that is very useful for the users, That is verified because I have some installations in which the users have wanted it in this way, of course that to use null passwords involves other risks, inside the works of the person that creates his own Live system is to know the corresponding actions to take. As example, sometimes should be installed a firewall in the computer, or prepare access with identification by keys and/or to encrypt the communications, to finish, if we have more possibilities in these tools, we will have to learn to use them and know the risks and the advantages that it behaves, and the resulting systems will fit better to the final needs.
