UF_PASSWD_NOTREQD user account flag

Subject: UF_PASSWD_NOTREQD user account flag
Date: Wed, 16 Mar 2005 00:23:36 +0100
Hi all,

can anybody here explain the real meaning of UF_PASSWD_NOTREQD flag of Windows 
user account? I've found bunch of user accounts in W2K domain with this flag 
set; when I've tried to perform interactive or network logon with them, it 
failed. I've found no descriptive documentation besides of vague "password 
not required" statement. My questions are:
-- what's the actual meaning of this flag?
-- are there some circumstances under which it is possible to logon to account 
with this flag set (without password)?

Thanks for any info and/or reference.

Petr
