Thanks for the response concerning the .rgyloc file, it was mondo-helpful! Another question ... How do you use the /etc/d_users and /etc/d_passwd for added dialup security. The man pages ( section 1 of the manual under 'login' ) was not very helpful (surprise, surprise) ... I'm able to get the "Dialup password" prompt, but none of the passwords seem to work. I figure it is the format of my password entries ...

The format of the /etc/d_passwd file *SHOULD* be: /bin/sh:13-character-encrypted-password: (Note the trailing colon. This was missing in 10.1 and 10.2 documentation.) The password must be encrypted with crypt(3). Thus, don't use an encrypted password from /etc/passwd if the password for that account was last changed at SR9.x. I've gotten this working here, so if you have any problems let me know. Hope this helps. -- Douglas Keenan Rand Honeywell -- Air Transport Systems Division Phone: +1 602 436 2814 US Snail: P.O.

|> How do you use the /etc/d_users and /etc/d_passwd for added dialup security. The d_passwd file is structured similar to the passwd file; the password is determined by the login shell for the user. The first field is the shell path, and the second field is the encrypted password. If there is no entry for the shell the user is using, then the /bin/sh entry is used. Thus, a one-line d_passwd file for all users is as follows: /bin/sh:7g0iXJYS4SA1s: Note that the trailing ":" is required. There is no supplied program which will produce the encrypted password specifically for the file, but writing one is pretty straightforward. This can be found in login(1) under bsd. |> Bill Gutknecht bag@perpk.nt.com ...walt...
