Password problem when swithcing to a trusted system

[scott rope]

I switched to a trusted system and forced everyones password to change. Next
before I exited out of sam I went and turn off password aging for root and some
system account. Now when I log in using a telnet session as root I'm forced to
change my password. If I dont change it and then log in using CDE I'm not asked
to change my password. Has anybody seen this before???

I haven't seen this particular issue before. However, there are numerous known
problems with trusted systems by default on HP-UX. They have been corrected by
multiple patches. It's certainly possible that this is a known issue that is
corrected by one of these patches. You may want to go to the patch lookup
facility and search for "trust" and compare the output to what your system has
via a 'swlist -l product' output.

As for why you would be forced to change you password with a telnet login but
not a CDE login, I'm not exactly sure. It could have something to do with the
different files that are sourced in by these different types of logins. By
default, a CDE login only sources in a user's .dtprofile, while a telnet
session will source in both /etc/profile and .profile (or .login for csh).
