[comp.sys.next] Security rules on NeXT

youki@newmars.ics.osaka-u.ac.jp (Youki Kadobayashi) (06/30/91)

When I login from NeXT's console, I can su on that machine.  However,
if I login from other machines via rlogin, I can't su, like this:

----------------------------------------------------------------
youki@icsnext1$ rlogin icssparc
Password: xxxxxxxxxxxx
Last login: Sun Jun 30 21:36:42 from icssnake
SunOS Release 4.1.1 (GENERIC_SMALL) #1: Fri Oct 12 17:09:11 PDT 1990

youki@icssparc$ rlogin icsnext1
Password: xxxxxxxxxxxx
Last login: Mon Jul  1 01:23:17 from icssnake

youki@icsnext1$ su
You do not have permission to su root
----------------------------------------------------------------

/etc/ttys on icsnext1 is not modified as of installation:

....
ttyp0	none				network
ttyp1	none				network
ttyp2	none				network
ttyp3	none				network
....

I modified some NetInfo configuration:

youki@icsnext1$ niutil -read / /
master: icsnext1/network
trusted_networks: 133.1.12

youki@icsnext1$ nidump passwd . | grep root
root:sWrd9erEhpoas:0:0:Operator:/:/bin/csh
                     ^ was 1

I'd like to know explicit rules which can explain why this occurs.
