  DSPAUTUSR shows that, but does not have an output file, so that 
command may not be preferable if a programmed response to such an 
inquiry is desired.  However IIRC the model outfile [output file] for 
DSPUSRPRF for *BASIC detail for the type of information [TYPE() 
parameter] named QADSPUPB in QSYS [or QSYS29##] with a format name 
QSYDSUPB has a field [e.g. something like UPNOPWD] which includes an 
indication if the password setting is *NONE.  Perform a request to 
DSPFFD QSYS/QADSPUPB and then review the text and column headings for 
the listed fields, looking for the text '*NONE' alluding to such an 
indicator [possibly as a value of '1' to suggest 'true'].

  The Retrieve Authorized Users (QSYRAUTU) API and Open List of 
Authorized Users (QGYOLAUS) API purport to provide information similar 
to that of DSPAUTUSR.
