Secman lockout

Greetings,

I work with a Solaris Sun Server V240 system (GCCS) and have run into a problem where I can't seem to unlock my SECMAN account at the NON-GLOBAL level. I have access to all global accounts to include sysadmin and secman. I have access to the non-global sysadmin account and root (SU) throughout.

To date, I have tried to use the PASSWD command to reset the SECMAN password at both the global (using zlogin to get to the non-global level) and just logging in as sysadmin in the non-global level and working through a terminal window as SU to reset the password there. In ALL cases, even though the password reset implies it was successful, I am unable to log in as SECMAN in the non-global level using the new password.

Is there a way to create a new secman account in the terminal window within the non-global zone? Any help with this issue is greatly appreciated.

v/r Mike
