I have installed odoo v8 based on this script
It seems the user 'odoo' has no password (at least in my installation) and I wonder whether this:
- is how it is supposed to be ?
- a good idea in terms of safety ?
any ideas?
Odoo is the world's easiest all-in-one management software.
It includes hundreds of business apps:
- CRM
- e-Commerce
- Účtovníctvo
- Sklady
- PoS
- Project
- MRP

It's ok to have system user with no password. Some limitations are
- can be used only by root
- no ssh access
so that means: it is ok to have such a passwordless user, but it also wouldn't break anything or reduce security to assign a password, right? For example it could be a security feature that you can not access to the 'odoo' user by ssh
It wouldn't break anything, but it would make things less secure. A passwordless user is more secure than a user with a password - this user can NEVER login, just run services.
That user will never exposed to the end user, so I think it's safe enough. Root still can login as user with no password if that user is given a proper shell, like bash (ehm.. shellshock). To make the user not available for login, use /sbin/nologin as command/shell for that user in /etc/passwd.
