Operating Systems SCO Strange behaviour on Openserver 5.0.2 after 09/2015 Post 302955369 by Zenor on Wednesday 16th of September 2015 06:42:41 PM

Well, its mostly just an improvement on the already stated workaround of booting the system with a date prior to 09/2015 then resetting it to the current date after logon. It is currently dependent on having the system running inside a vm at the moment.

First we set the vm software to always boot the guest with a date prior to 09/2015, this means the system should boot properly regardless of what the system date set as when it shutdown.

Next we just need a way to sync the guest's clock with the host's clock once it has finished booting. My planned method is to have the host run a script whenever the guest is started that simply logs into the guest, fixes the date, then logs back out.

Whether automating it on bare-metal system is possible remains to be seen.

As for upgrading to 5.0.6, I will attempt to do so with a clone of my system as soon as I get a copy of the installation media.

pam_guest

PAM_GUEST(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 					      PAM_GUEST(8)

NAME

     pam_guest -- Guest PAM module

SYNOPSIS

     [service-name] module-type control-flag pam_guest [arguments]

DESCRIPTION

     The guest service module for PAM allows guest logins.  If successful, the pam_guest module sets the PAM environment variable GUEST to the
     login name.  The application can check this variable using pam_getenv(3) to differentiate guest logins from normal logins.

     The following options may be passed to the pam_guest module:

     guests=list    Comma-separated list of guest account names.  The default is ``guest''.  A typical value for ftpd(8) would be
		    ``anonymous,ftp''.

     nopass	    Omits the password prompt if the target account is on the list of guest accounts.

     pass_as_ruser  The password typed in by the user is exported as the PAM_RUSER item.  This is useful for applications like ftpd(8) where guest
		    users are encouraged to use their email address as password.

     pass_is_user   Requires the guest user to type in the guest account name as password.
