Most of the non-login 'system' accounts like 'bin' have a password field of '*', but there are a couple ('postgres' and another) which have a password field of '!'. Do both '!' and '*' indicate no password?
Those are invalid passwords - it is impossible to type something at the login prompt to produce a crypt or md5 hash match with "*" or "!". Regards, Tim.
