Well, I assume that both server and client are running FreeBSD. Since
the user can log in with a null password, it sounds like a password
encryption issue. What does,

  % ls -l /usr/lib/libcrypt.*

Return? It should be something like,

  lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  13 Jun  3 19:07 /usr/lib/libcrypt.a -> libdescrypt.a
  lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  14 Jun  3 19:07 /usr/lib/libcrypt.so -> libdescrypt.so
  lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  16 Jun  3 19:07 /usr/lib/libcrypt.so.2 -> libdescrypt.so.2
