Linux Help

I am looking to see if a system accepts null passwds, I know how to do
this in a standard linux environment, but the kicker is users are
authenticating through a Windows platform and within the pam.d file
under system-auth is see /$ISA/pam_unix.so likeauth nullok* Does null
have to be allowed in order for proper authentication through Windows
into Linux????

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
