Irrelevant to question - it doesn't allow to connect remotely to user, if '*' is set instead of password, or '!'.

Anyway, using '!' seems to allow connecting through ssh *without* password set for user. Yet, I haven't seen or heard about any issues, when real password is set. So, I think it answers OP question
