In open source world everything is possible, but I doubt if there's
any kind of patch or dedicated software (some kind of login not asking
for password) to do that... well, maybe you'll find something on the
internet, but besides of that it's hard to find, it's also not the best
thing to do, it's against unix/linux philosophy.
