I'd like to setup an account that can use a weak password.
To make up for it, the account should only be accessible locally, not

It would be sufficient for it to be accessible only via GDM/XDM (since
I don't need remote XDM/GDM logins).

I believe the default settings do not allow remote GDM logins. You can always run gdmsetup to be sure. As for remote access via ssh, look into the DenyUsers and DenyGroups directives for sshd_config. Alternatively, you may prefer to disable password based logins altogether and go with public key authentication only. Again look at sshd_config(5) for the relevant configuration directives.
