I'm sorry, I didn't read the whole thing correctly.
If you want it to be restrictive to some users/groups only, I recomment
taking a loot at pam_access (configuration is in
/etc/security/access.conf).
You would have to add pam_access to /etc/pam.d/login, and also edit
access.conf. I haven't tried giving users acceess with no password, but it
might work.
- From your description, why do you have to be passwordless?
If they put in their username (and password), and then the
.login/.bash_profile starts up the software, why can't they have a
password?
