Null passwords don't work. You need the password encoded according to your operating system's crypt function. On most *nixes, this is the password field in the password file, less any password aging codes. Some Linux distributions use a more generalised mechanism and you'll need to check the archives for ways of getting the standard crypt password, or code a small routine yourself.
