https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-hp-ux/trusted-system-locked-screen/m-p/2808409#M83633 On a Trusted 10.20 system, a user enters invalid password 3 (or whatever) times at Lockscreen prompt (as opposed to login). If root re-activates account (remotely) the user is still not allowed to enter correct password.<BR />Only way round it that I have found is to kill users dtsession process or to reboot the machine! Is there a more elegant solution?
