Hi,
I'm using HP-UX.
The process i followed was as follows:
1: kill all the instance of "sh" except one.
2: # bash
3: copy the new sh <new_sh> to /bin/ directory
# cp /mydir/<newsh> /bin/
# mv /bin/<newsh> /bin/sh
4: then rename the sh in /sbin directory to something else. let it be <sh_old>
# mv /sbin/sh_old /sbin/sh_veryold
# cp /mydir/<newsh> /sbin/
# mv /sbin/newsh /sbin/sh
5: Logout from the machine.
now even though there is a "sh" in /sbin/ and in /bin, the machine getty could not find these new binaries and failed to open a session for the user.
let me know if there is a better work around for this.
and how can i find the version of "sh" on HP-ux machine.(for linux it is # sh --version)
Thanks,
Amit

consolehelper
CONSOLEHELPER(8) System Manager's Manual CONSOLEHELPER(8)
NAME
consolehelper - A wrapper that helps console users run system programs
SYNOPSIS
progname [ options ]
DESCRIPTION
consolehelper is a tool that makes it easy for console users to run system programs, doing authentication via PAM (which can be set up to
trust all console users or to ask for a password at the system administrator's discretion). When possible, the authentication is done
graphically; otherwise, it is done within the text console from which consolehelper was started.
It is intended to be completely transparent. This means that the user will never run the consolehelper program directly. Instead, pro-
grams like /sbin/shutdown are paired with a link from /usr/bin/shutdown to /usr/bin/consolehelper. Then when non-root users (specifically,
users without /sbin in their path, or /sbin after /usr/bin) call the "shutdown" program, consolehelper will be invoked to authenticate the
action and then invoke /sbin/shutdown. (consolehelper itself has no priviledges; it calls the userhelper(8) program do the real work.)
consolehelper requires that a PAM configuration for every managed program exist. So to make /sbin/foo or /usr/sbin/foo managed, you need
to create a link from /usr/bin/foo to /usr/bin/consolehelper and create the file /etc/pam.d/foo, normally using the pam_console(8) PAM mod-
ule.
OPTIONS
This program has no command line options of its own; it passes all command line options on to the program it is calling.
