Re: How TO: Break into the system
If you can describe your real problem, we can probably offer a solution. But just asking how to break into a system will probably not garner many answers.
How do we know you are not a hacke/cracker/whatever trying to mess with someone?

Re: How TO: Break into the system
HP has a course on HP-UX security where they teach these skills as a means of defense.
I for one will post nothing to assist you not that I don't trust you. I don't trust others that will read this in the future.

SolutionAre you looking for the ability to reset root? or ways to hack the system?
If it is the first, reboot the system, interupt the boot cycle during the 10 second window where it says press any key, issue the command bo pri, answer yes to interact with ISL, and enter hpux -is at the ISL prompt, and press enter. This will bring you up in single user mode, and give you the ability to reset roots password.

Re: How TO: Break into the system
Anyway, I just wanted to save a call to tech support and figured you guys would be faster. I am attempting to document how my boss or someone else could get in the system in case I got hit by a bus as I am the only one with the root password.

Re: How TO: Break into the system
Mike, it all depents on what you want to do, but I notive you have ask plenty of questions in the forums, probably you are not a cracker but who knows...
If you forgot your root password, you can get into single user mode and change the password overthere, and you will have access to it, that's the fast and easy way with physical access to the server.
Notice: **** whatever is advice overhere is to fix machines and not to break anything in them, even thought some manage to do it all the time without fault****
Regards,
Jaime.

Re: How TO: Break into the system
1) Crash the box (yank the power cord or equivalent).
2) Power the box back up, and interrupt the boot process when the console directs you to by hitting
3) boot pri
4) Interact with ISL/IPL? Y
5) hpux -is
This will bring the box up in single-user mode and you will be logged in as root. You can mount any needed filesystems (which may first require an fsck because of the harsh manner in which the box was last shutdown) and do any needed maintenance. You can also set the root password at this time. You then shutdown and allow the box to boot normally.
You can also peruse the security bulletins for possible techniques but hopefully the legitimate and diligent sysadmin will have already applied the fixes to close those holes.

Re: How TO: Break into the system
This topic has in actuality come up many times with people providing a more appropriate title and enough detail to make their attentions clear.
Single user mode can be password protected. In that case you cand still boot off Core OS mount the root filesystem and null out the root password entry in /etc/passwd.
Please accept my apologies for my part in the misunderstanding. For some reason I'm a bit tense lately, Can't figure out why.
Good luck resolving your issue.
