Default SSH Zimbra User Password - need to change

Hello,

Maybe a dumb question, but I'll ask..

I recently ssh'd to my zimbra box, as the zimbra user -

ssh zimbra@myhost.com

At the password prompt, I simply hit return and was in.

Obviously I need to add a password for this user. However, I am
concerned that I might break something. I looked over the docs,
searched and was not able to find any help.

So...

What happens if I change the zimbra users password, from nothing to something?

Would it be safe to do this from the command line? Or, is there a LDAP consideration?

Thanks in advance

It should be ok to add a password. The UNIX user is always invoked from root so shouldn't be a problem.
