Running Solaris 8 (4/01) on an E250...
I don't think this was always the case, but I've just discovered that
any user who logs in on the console terminal for this machine doesn't
need a password. Any ID in the passwd file or available through NIS
(the machine is an NIS client) can be used to log in, and simply by
pressing Return at the Password: prompt, they're in. Password
protection seems to work correctly for telnet, ftp, rsh, and so forth.
(fortunately!)
The one thing I did do was edit /etc/default/login and change SLEEPTIME
to shorten the amount of time before "Login incorrect" pops up after a
bad login attempt... but I set this back to the default with no effect.
Any ideas what I should look for here? I apologize if this is some
ridiculous RTFM question; I tried to find mention of this in various
pieces of documentation but didn't really know what to look it up under.
TIA and IWS.
