What is the exact action/output sequence you see?

$ ssh user@host
Enter your LAN Password:
Last login: Fri Sep 18 09:38:27 2009 from host.f
/bin/ksh: Not owner
Connection to host closed.

Responding to the rest of the questions is somewhat problematic since I can not get into and stay in the host!

If it helps what I've done is write a script to test the access of a several hosts and related directories for a particular username. The hosts are in the enterprise network but not hosts in which I normally work.

The curious thing is that if I use my personal credentials to access the host I can but when I do a uanme -a the name of the host that appears in not the one I use to ssh to?

SunOS Z<different host name> 5.10 Generic_141414-02 sun4u sparc SUNW,SPARC-Enterprise

What versions of OS are the systems that fail?
What OS versions of systems that work?
Anything change recently (patches? upgrades? etc...)

---------- Post updated at 10:55 AM ---------- Previous update was at 10:40 AM ----------

I did a nslookup on the host name used with the ssh command and it is an alias to the host name provided by the uname -a. Additonally, and not supprisingly, when I ssh to the canonical name I get the same response.

						       TPM Management - tpm_changeownerauth

NAME

       tpm_changeownerauth - change the authorization data associated with the owner or SRK

SYNOPSIS

       tpm_changeownerauth [OPTION]

DESCRIPTION

       tpm_changeownerauth allows for changing the authorization data for the TPM owner or the TPM's Storage Root Key (via the TPM_ChangeAuthOwner
       API).  This operation prompts for current password, followed by the new password and a confirmation of the new password. The --owner option
       changes the TPM owner password and --srk option changes the TPM's SRK password. The --well-known option is used when SRK or owner passwords
       need to be changed and current owner password is a secret of zeros, --set-well-known option changes current password to a secret of zeros,
       both options do not work by themselves, they must be used with --owner and --srk options to indicate which of these passwords will be
       changed.
