This is just from a search but note the section "Usage" on this page.

so maybe something fishy was attempted. maybe worth looking into possible
exploits against that binary. all i can offer im afraid.

Subject: [cobalt-security] "system accounts not allowed" ???


Hello Cobalt-Security Gurus --

Here's a message I saw in my Raq2 log:

Sep 15 18:01:17 www pwdb_chkpwd[3590]: system accounts not allowed

Never seen it before, no idea what it means
and I can find nothing in the knowledgebase
nor on Google...  Do I have a security issue?
Or a red herring?

TIA!

Dan Keller
