Hi Lyndon (still of Rover), and others Paul Szabo <Szabo@maths.su.oz.au> said > I am sure your HP engineer was just boasting, I am sure there are no > 'password backdoors' in Domain/OS. I'm not so sure. I heard a similar tale from an Apollo (pre-HP days) engineer. His story was that the sys-admin at some site had lost/forgotten the root pasword, and deleted one of the default accounts, and that it was the absence of this account which prevented his 'breaking in', and also that it wouldn't have mattered if the password had been changed from the default (and it would, wouldn't it?). Far-fetched, or what? Tom Brock.
