Alan said a couple of weeks ago that setting a user to NOPASSWORD
would completely remove the password and phrase and that these are
true:

- No one can logon directly to or use the id for authentication
- The user can still be XAUTOLOGed
- The user will never be revoked due to inactivity or too many logon
attempts with a bad password

I think his last point answers your question?
