Nit: remove empty line.

This should also have a test, see |
|
Actually should really add two tests (empty username, one with config option and one without), as we weren't testing an empty username. |

Now I look at this a second time, I think the correct solution is to always allow this. I can't see a reason for us to fail at this point - it should fail in the PAM layer if the username is invalid. |
