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.
