Trusted System: locking user accounts

Andres Viir — Wed, 25 Apr 2007 02:21:16 GMT

Hi.

We have several systems running HP's trusted system ( /tcb/files/auth/ ). On these machines, we want to lock the administrative & application accounts, and force the users to login in via "sesu - ", in order to increase traceability.

On our trusted systems, are we supposed to edit these files manually? Or is there some hidden option in SAM, which my aging eyes have failed to see? I'm assuming we want to have it say:

:u_pwd=*:\

in the respective accounts files.
