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.

Rgds.

Re: Enforcing security on HP-UX

Currently the message is hardcoded into su. If the permissions on /etc, /etc/default, /etc/group and /etc/default/security are correct (no world write) then security would be OK. True, it does provide a lot more information than is necessary.
