We have recently set up a couple of new HP D250 machines, running HPUX 10.01,
as AFS file servers. I noticed that root's passwd was stored in the
/etc/passwd file, so I stated looking at the security options in sam.
I made the machine a trusted system, which will store the passwords in
a database. I was thinking that it would be similar to Solaris storing
the passwords in the /etc/shadow file. Once I had done this I could not
log into the console as root. I had to reboot into single user mode and
go back to using the HPUX version of login. Evidently the Transarc modified
version of login does not look in the database, which was located in the
/tcb/files/auth directory (no /etc/shadow file). Has anybody else run into
this problem? And if so, how can we use Transarc's login, getting a token
when we log in, and still be able to login as root?
