I was running "smitty". It lets the user in but it has no menu options.
Can only F10 out.

If I run "smit", a pop-up appears that says "Insufficient authorizations
for this panel"

Just noticed that in AIX 4.3.3, a non-root user could/can get into
"smit",
but that is no longer true on our AIX 5.2 systems. Is this a new
"feature"? Can that be adjusted to allow some/all users into "smit".
