Title:
  Z LPAR 17.10 install: Empty password accepted but unable to log in
  with ssh installer at IP

Status in debian-installer package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Installation initiated from the HMC using 'Recovery --> Reload from
  Removable Media or Server' to select the FTP server and installer. The
  menu selection 'Daily --> Operating system messages' is then used to
  drive the installation until prompted to log in over ssh to complete
  the installation.

  When prompted for a 'Remote installation password' empty entries are
  accepted. However, the user is then unable to log in, when attempting
  to connect with an ssh client.

  The system should validate that an acceptable password is entered.
