It is set to auto by default, indicating
to display the password of a local
user in the way defined by the
password command.
Required.
No local user exists by default.
Optional.
If you do not configure any password
for a local user, the local user does
not need to provide any password
during authentication and can pass
authentication after entering the
correct local username and passing
attribute checks. To achieve higher
security, configure a password for
each local user.
If you specify no keyword or
argument, the command prompts you
to provide a password. This
interactive mode is supported only on
switches that support the password
control feature.
Required.
By default, no service is authorized to
a local user.
Optional.
When created, a local user is in the
active state by default, and the user
can request network services.
