Trusted root lockout

[uspfoms]

Converted to Trusted system, HP UX-11i now root keeps getting locked. How do I stop root from ever being locked out/timed out? My console is GUI and I can't even access it.

Thanks and please help

Hi ,

What is the reason that you do not want the
console to be locked out.

If it is due to requirement of font server for fonts etc or oracle report server etc
then you can run the Xvfb ( X virtual frame buffer).

for 11i it comes by default in /usr/bin/X11 directory.

see the below link for details :

hi uspfoms;

/usr/lbin/modprpw -k root will unlock user.
ir order to do this you need to log on console.

The good news is that you have learned a valuable lesson. Whenever doing any mass changes related to passwords, be logged in as root in at least two sessions so that you can get yourself out of trouble almost as fast as you got yourself in. Moreover, if you are logged in redundantly then you most likely will not need to be --- it's one of God's little jokes.

The bad news is that you will need to shutdown and come up in single user mode on the console. This will leave you in a shell logged in as root.
