Hi All, This is an automatic summary. I didn't ask this question before on sunmanagers, but after a day of fiddling around with passwords managed to find a bug in sun's sun management console. Ok, simply said: smc does not support blowfish/md5 encrypted passwords in /etc/shadow * I wrote a little how to long time ago on changing the default alg./password length for Solaris: http://www.mail.ac/users/bruno/solarispasswords.html Sun's patch manager extensively use's Solaris Management Console server for patch admin. However if you've setup root passwd to be a blowfish/md5 encrypted password, you'll never be authenticated. Workaround (change back to __unix__ from blowfish/md5): 1) Change /etc/security/policy.conf back to using CRYPT_DEFAULT=__unix__ 2) Edit the password field to be null in /etc/shadow for root (be careful here) 3) Change the password for root. 4) Restart smc. You should be able to login now. -Kevin _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Tue Dec 16 17:29:10 2003
