What OS? Are you going from root to the other user account (no password should be asked).

I searched some of your responses from old messages and noted you mentioned HP-UX - if this is the OS you are working on could it have something to do with the SU_ROOT_Group in /etc/default/security ?

NAME
registration_profile - template for Basic Registration information SYNOPSIS
registration.profile The registration profile is a template for the information provided for Basic Registration. The information in this template is consumed by the sconadm(1M) utility. sconadm is the command-line alternative to the Basic Registration GUI. An example of the registration profile template is provided in /var/lib/breg/data/RegistrationProfile.properties. This file is owned by root, with read-only permissions. As root, you can copy the file to a location of your choosing and edit the file. The registration profile template contains the following properties: userName= password= hostName= subscriptionKey= portalEnabled= proxyHostName= proxyPort= proxyUserName= proxyPassword= Values are not required for every property. The filling in or leaving blank a property depends on the task you intend to perform. Possible tasks are registering a new system, reregistering a system, and establishing a proxy. See sconadm(1M) for examples. The properties defined for a registration template are as follows: userName Corresponds to Sun Online Account user name. password Corresponds to Sun Online Account password. hostName Portal Common Name (defaults to Unix host name, if not provided). subscriptionKey Enable access to all updates by providing your Sun Subscription Key for entitlement. portalEnabled If true, enable local client to be managed at the Sun-hosted Update Connection Service.
