Re: dual password authentication
echo "console" > /etc/securetty
Now, to attain root login, you must first login as a normal user, then use su - root to login as root. Then restrict the users that are allowed to use su for root login by creating a special group in the /etc/gtorup file, making those selected users members of that group and setting the parameter: SU_ROOT_GROUP equal to that group name. The SU_ROOT_GROUP parameter is added to the file: /etc/default/security. See the man page for security.

SolutionI have seen this at certain client ends where they login on to the server through ssh
i.e user accounts & then use a third party
authentication software like power broker for root access & secure authentication.
I hope sudo is not very safe and recommended
by HP.
not very sure if you are looking at some thing else. i don`t think native OS has this kind of mechanism.
Thanks

Re: dual password authentication
there is no feature included in Native HP UX OS for dual authentication of administrator account.
better to go with solution as described by bill and not suggested to use any third party.
