SCO OpenServer & filePro permissions

Is it just me, or did scooter6 at gmail.com say:

The filepro user should -definitely- either have a password, or have an x
or * in the encrypted password field in /etc/shadow.  DO NOT leave the
password unset.

I wouldn't make the password expire for that account, but I can't remember
if that is tunable per user, or if it's a system-wide setting.  I thought
it's system-wide, in which case it's all users or none that expire
passwords.  (I've used expirations twice in 20yrs, upon client request,
which is why my memory on this is sketchy.)
