Hello: I'm having trouble w/ DEC OSF/1 V2.0 Enhanced Security. Just yesterday, the passwd program decided to be very friendly and let anyone (except root) change anyone else's password. I wrote a wrapper for it so that it can't do that anymore.
Thanks to everyone who responded to this. The general consensus (and the one that solved the problem) was that I should get a comprehensive patch kit from DEC. The kit, CSCPAT_4061 (CSCPAT_4060 is available for Ultrix), contains a number of fixes. The most important of these was /usr/shlib/libsecurity.so. Problem fixed. Much thanks. -timmo Tim DiLauro Milton S. Eisenhower Library Library Systems Jack Johns Hopkins University (410) 516-5263 3400 N. Charles Street timmo () RacerX mse jhu edu Baltimore, MD 21218
