Depends on your full stack, but yes, this is the PAM behavior as checks prior to this indicate a soft success. If you remove authentication from your system, its expected that any attempt to access will pass, barring and specific denial.

While experimenting with PCI DSS on a default Debian Linux system, I
found that when I comment out this line:

auth    required        pam_unix.so nullok_secure

in /etc/pam.d/common-auth, any account may ssh into the box by typing
anything as the password. Is this the desired behavior? I would think
that it would fail by default.
