Hi,
I am trying to make users logging in over the network or suing over the network use skey
authentication, however if logging in from the console to allow plain text passwords. (I have seen
postings about this in the archive, but no answers on how to do it).
Under version 2.1, I have tried to do this by editing the following lines in /etc/ttys to read:
ttyp0 none network auth-network
ttyp1 etc.
and then to add lines into /etc/login.conf so that the default is as follows:
default:\
:tc=auth-bsdi-defaults:\
:auth-network=skey:\
:auth-su=key:
Whilst at first this all appears to work fine, entering "su -a passwd" root still allows the user
to use text passwords to su .
Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug in su ? Any help or suggestion on how
to do this would be greatly appreciated.
TIA,
Rob.
