Re your post#1, in Solaris 11 the root user (superuser) is a 'role' by default and cannot be logged into directly, only su'd to.
This is, of course, for security reasons. However, if you so choose, you can revert user 'root' to a standard user account by issuing:#
having previously su'd to gain superuser rights. After that, subject to setting/knowing the root user password you can log directly in as root giving you immediate superuser rights without the need to su.
Another option would be to start your system in single user which brings it up in superuser but without multiuser services such as networking. However, you could soon script yourself something to start the services you require, mount filesystems, and other things whilst you are still in single user. It just depends on whether one single user (from the console) will serve your purpose. Perhaps provide us all with more information so that we can be more specific.

keylogin
keylogin(1) General Commands Manual keylogin(1)NAME
keylogin - decrypt and store secret key with keyserv
SYNOPSIS
[ ]
DESCRIPTION
The command prompts for a password, and uses it to decrypt the user's secret key. The key may be found in the file (see publickey(4)), the
NIS map or entries in the LDAP directory in the user's home domain. The sources and their lookup order are specified in the file (see nss-
witch.conf(4)).
Once decrypted, the user's secret key is stored by the local key server process, This stored key is used when issuing requests to any
secure RPC services, such as NFS. The program can be used to delete the key stored by
will fail if it cannot get the caller's key, or the password given is incorrect. For a new user or host, a new key can be added using
Options
Update the
file. This file holds the unencrypted secret key of the superuser.
Only the superuser may use this option. It is used so that processes running as superuser can issue authenticated requests without
requiring that the administrator explicitly run as superuser at system startup time (see keyserv(1M)).
The option should be used by the administrator when the host's entry in the publickey database has changed, and the file has become
out-of-date with respect to the actual key pair stored in the publickey database.
The permissions on the file are such that it may be read and written by the superuser but by no other user on the system.
WARNINGS
HP-UX 11i Version 2 is the last HP-UX release on which NIS+ is supported. LDAP is the recommended replacement for NIS+. HP fully supports
the industry standard naming services based on LDAP.
