Re: what is /usr/lbin/protect_pty command used for?

Everything in /usr/lbin is a 'backend' command, something that is used to support a higher level process or subsystem. An example is modprpw which, until 11.11, was undocumented and used by SAM. A backend command will be changed without notice and is not designed to be used by root or users directly. Many of these backend commands are for SAM.

For example, modprpw had an undocumented -w option to change the password in a Trusted System. It has beem removed for 11.11.
