Question on SSH and SFTP and FTP

[Mohammed Ali_6]

Hi, I've got few newbie questions. I would appreciate it very much if someone can give me some answers:

1. if you set rootlogin to NO in sshd_config, does that also apply to sftp or does sftp uses a seperate access control file?
2. when you create a user in SAM, where's the default .profile file SAM uses?
3. when a user logs in on HP-UX 11i, what steps do the login process goes through - i.e. does user get authenticated via PAM? Does the login process first execute /etc/profile, then $HOME/.profile? for different shell (ksh, sh) does it execute different shell initialization file?
4. how can you find out if PAM is installed on HP-UX 11i and it's being used for authentication? Where does PAM configuration file resides?

Thanks in advance.

1. It applies to ssh/sftp
2. From /etc/skel
3. If user shell is set to ksh/sh, it goes throug /etc/profile, $HOME/.profile
IF user's shell is csh, the /etc/csh.login and then $HOME/.login

1) yes. You deny root login through all of the SSH tools
2) The default profile for adding usings via SAM comes from the /etc/skel directory. This includes csh as well as ksh and sh
3) system profile then the local profile
4) on 11.00 there is a /etc/pam.conf file
