Console - root command prompt displayed twice after hitting enter
Dear All,
I hope you can help me.
I have a pair of E2900's I've inherited. Both running Solaris 9. Both have LOM> consoles. The problem I'm experiencing only occurs when connected to the /dev/console tty. Whenever I hit 'Enter' for a new line, I receive two new lines: -
Code:
myhost# <--- Hit Enter here
myhost#
myhost# <--- Hit Enter here
myhost#
myhost# tty <--- Hit Enter here
/dev/console
myhost# myhost#
I have tried searching all other places for help, I suspect either my LOM is setup incorrectly or my inittab is.
I had this problem before but it started working OK for a while. I can create a new profile but when I launch the console for that user it does not show the $ prompt. It shows for su and I tried to set the terminal but I am not sure if I did it correctly since it does not work still. The... (9 Replies)

My problem. I want to su to a non-root account non-interactively, e.g. if I want to temporarily become prdusr, I want to su prdusr without keying prdusr's password every time.
What I want is... (10 Replies)
I'm using rsync with the "-e ssh" option so of course it asks for a password using a prompt. Is there a way to tell a script to expect a prompt, wait for it, and give a password when it arrives?
There is a way to give rsync a password as part of its options using a file, but it only works with... (2 Replies)

bsmconv
bsmconv(1M) System Administration Commands bsmconv(1M)NAME
bsmconv, bsmunconv - enable or disable the Basic Security Module (BSM) on Solaris
SYNOPSIS
/etc/security/bsmconv [rootdir...]
/etc/security/bsmunconv [rootdir...]
DESCRIPTION
The bsmconv and bsmunconv scripts are used to enable or disable the BSM features on a Solaris system. The optional argument rootdir is a
list of one or more root directories of diskless clients that have already been configured. See smdiskless(1M).
To enable or disable BSM on a diskless client, a server, or a stand-alone system, logon as super-user to the system being converted and use
the bsmconv or bsmunconv commands without any options.
To enable or disable BSM on a diskless client from that client's server, logon to the server as super-user and use bsmconv, specifying the
root directory of each diskless client you wish to affect. For example, the command:
myhost# bsmconv /export/root/client1 /export/root/client2
enables BSM on the two machines named client1 and client2. While the command:
myhost# bsmconv
enables BSM only on the machine called myhost. It is no longer necessary to enable BSM on both the server and its diskless clients.
After running bsmconv the system can be configured by editing the files in /etc/security. Each diskless client has its own copy of configu-
ration files in its root directory. You might want to edit these files before rebooting each client.
Following the completion of either script, the affected system(s) should be rebooted to allow the auditing subsystem to come up properly
initialized.
FILES
The following files are created by bsmconv:
/etc/security/device_maps Administrative file defining the mapping of device special files to allocatable device names.
/etc/security/device_allocate Administrative file defining parameters for device allocation.
