Comment(by ffm):

 Replying to [comment:6 morgs]:
 > One side effect relates to ssh. Currently you can't ssh in as root, and
 you can't ssh in as olpc until you set a password. If olpc has no
 password, then anyone can ssh to any machine with no password, by default.

 No, because PermitEmptyPasswords is defaulting to deny.
