Pb with Trusted System installation

Boissé — Tue, 14 Jun 2005 16:26:18 GMT

Hello,

I have some problem when turning on the trusted system on a HP-UX v11.00 server.
After turning it on via sam and logging off the server, there is no way to re-login in with any account.

Is a reboot normally needed ?

Do you know this problem ?

Thanks for help...

Did you did it through SAM?? Sure??

Do you have root session open somewhere??
If yes, /usr/lbin/modprpw -V

What is the error message that you get??

This is normally the case when you convert to trusted manually, i.e., without the help of SAM, which leaves all the accounts disabled after conversion. I am not sure why you may be experiencing the same difficulty but, it may help, before you log out, if you run

for USER in `cat/tmp/userlist`
do
/usr/lbin/modprpw -l -m alock=NO $USER
done

where /tmp/userlist contains the list of users that you know, who will need interacive access to this server.

hope this helps

You should still be able to login through console as root.

Thanks for your answers, but the pb is still here.

RAC :
I have tried /usr/lbin/modprpw -V because it's possible that another root session was opened elsewhere. But it doesn't change anything.

error message= "Login incorrect"

Mel Burslan :
I haven't any userlist file or folder in tmp...

I active Trusted system through Sam by clicking first on Auditing and security, then on one of the icons in the Auditing and security windows.
A window appears asking me if I want to convert into a trusted system. I answer yes.
Another window opens dealing with ACLs. I answer OK.
Then the system is converted succesfully into a trusted system.

Without loging out ( rlogin on another server, and rlogin again towards the first server. With any accounts : "login incorrect"

tsconvert -r to remove the trusted sytem and all is right again.

If your account's password was greater than 8 characters prior to trusted mode conversion type only the 1st 8 characters of the password when logging in. After initial login you can set a new password greater than 8 chars.

Sebastien,

by /tmp/userlist I meant, you need to create a file like this. Sorry that I was not clearer.

After your SAM session completes converting to trusted, try running the command I gave you above with root account only, instead of in a script. Then try your rlogin out and back in.

"login incorrect" does that happen to all users?? What does following command report.

pwck
grpck

AS mentioned, *all* passwords on the old system are 8 characters long or less. When you convert to Trusted, the passwords are still 8 characters. The problem is that you probably type more than 8 characters and for a Trusted system, the extra character are no longer ignored. Once the system is Trusted, if you change a password to be more than 8 characters, all of the characters are now used.

Thanks for your answers but :

I have tried all your solutions but it does not change anything.

It's not a pb with the length of the password (they are shorter than 8 characters)

"Login incorrect" happens with all users.
Nothing with pwck and grpck.

Mel, I have tried to unlock some user as you said but NO CHANGE...

I have also tried to create a new account when trusted system was turned on and to rlogin with this new user : IMPOSSIBLE : "Login incorrect"

Check permissions for / /tcb /etc /usr /usr/bin. If someone (as root) decided to improve security by changing these top level directories, you may get a message like this (even though the real reason is not an incorrect password). Here are the correct permissions and ownerships:

drwxr-xr-x 25 root root 8192 Jun 17 10:17 //
dr-xr-xr-x 31 bin bin 8192 Jun 20 08:52 /etc/
dr-xr-x--x 3 root sys 96 Feb 26 22:05 /tcb/
drwxrwx--x 3 root sys 96 Feb 26 22:05 /tcb/files/
drwxrwx--x 55 root sys 8192 Feb 26 22:05 /tcb/files/auth/
dr-xr-xr-x 24 bin bin 8192 Feb 28 08:09 /usr/
dr-xr-xr-x 5 bin bin 16384 Mar 30 09:55 /usr/bin//

It's OK, all is right...

I wanted to say, I have the good permissions, the problem 's still here...
