- Ok. I am looking through UNIX System Security by Farrow (1991), and
- I notice that System V R 3.2 has the ability to make a certain port
- more secure via a dialup password.
-
- It tells me to create /etc/dialups and /etc/d_passwd. /etc/dialups
- contains the port to protect, and d_passwd is the shell and password
- to look for on login.
-
- No problem up to now.
-
- Here is my question: In the book, Farrow shows the /etc/d_passwd file
- like this:
-
- /bin/ksh:H4fFsWOjoDw2D:
- /bin/sh:f30kDC4Fge5Jf:
- /usr/lib/uucp/uucico::
-
- Ok, ksh and sh require a dialup password, uucico does not require one.
-
- How do I set the password for this? I can find nothing in the documentation
- (just like Farrow said), and I am at a loss on how to do this.
-
- Help? Anyone?
-
- E-Mail to: nosilla@bsu-cs.bsu.edu

- Thank you in advance...
