[CSP_ALGERIA]

Hello

We have a HP9000 rp 8400 running under hpux 11i

when we try to open any session we have the folowing message:

-system error
-error:
check /etc/pam/conf file permission and ownerchip

-r--r--r-- 1 root /etc/pam/conf

and when we do

#ll /etc/pam/conf

we have this output:

-rwxrwxrwx 1 root /etc/pam/conf

the file has the full permission and the owner is root???!!!


What is really the problem , please help
thanks and bests regards

pam.conf is owned by root and is apart of the sys group and permissions on the file is read only.

-r--r--r-- 1 root sys 1324 Nov 14 2000 pam.conf

Hi Omar

It might be that it is not strict enough. do a "chmod 444 /etc/pam/conf"

Thanks for all.

The problem is resolved by the following:

#>/etc/utmp
