Logging In with No Password
Within the last week, I have noted that 3 of the OpenVMS Alpha systems (version 7.1, 7.2-1H1 and 7.3-1) that I manage now allow my fully privileged account and the SYSTEM account to log in when telnetting or decnetting to them WITHOUT A PASSWORD.
Obviously, this is disturbing. I did not make any changes to these systems to allow them to function like this and I can't figure out how it was done or who did it, so I have a problem.
In regard to how it was done, do any of you have any ideas as to what I should check to turn off this aut-logon feature that has apparently been turned on somewhere?
Thanks!

Re: Logging In with No Password
authorize account /NOPASSWORD
or changing the UAF file by some other means.
Reset it by setting a new password
SET PASSWORD
or
authorize mod account /PASSWORD=newpassword

Re: Logging In with No Password
When changing thosepasswords, i did a /nopasswdexp instead of /nopwdexp as I intended, so obviously, it just took the first 6 characters and set the accounts with no passwords.
Bad me!

Re: Logging In with No Password
(analyze/audit), and select AUTHORIZATION events to see if somebody else has done it.
Use SHOW AUDIT to see if these events are audited.
Also it is good to enable auditing
(SET AUDIT/ENABLE=(list) for
SYSPRV,BYPASS,CONTROL,PRIVILEGE
or
put and audit control ACL on SYSUAF.DAT
(see HELP AUDIT /ENABLE).
