Enforcing security on HP-UX

Hi Pals,

Any way to avoid or change the message on HP-UX 11.0 "su: Not a member of the SU_ROOT_GROUP defined in /etc/default/security". It's funny to think that this its a message of a procedure dedicated to enforce the system security. At present I cannot go to Trusted System.

Here's a text copy on the security man page.

According to my book on HP-UX 11i Security (Chris Wong) you cant supress this message.
Im from Palmerston North, New Zealand, but somehow ended up in London...

Re: Enforcing security on HP-UX

To avoid it, remove the 'SU_ROOT_GROUP=xxx' line from the file /etc/default/security.

I don't understand your second sentence. Are you saying it shouldn't tell you why it failed?

This particular feature has nothing to do with a trusted system configuration.
