account disabled/locked in trusted system

[Donald R. Wedig]

when an account is disabled or locked in a trusted system, does that effect the ids privledges in other areas. for example, do they still have cron privledges, does su still work from root/regular users.

Hi Donald,

I believe the cron job and the su from root to a disbaled / locked account works on a trusted system.

Hope this helps.

cron will always work because it does not login--it simple runs the job on behalf of the user. su will be a problem when authentication is required.

i would have thought that rexec, rcp, rlogin at the very least would fail even w/o login. this is at least true for the root id when it is locked. HP has the safe guard from console to over-ride the lock. i vaguely remember an old version of trusted that the individual's cron stopped when their id became locked.
