Operating Systems SCO SCO 5.0.7 server - Message - Root Account is disabled - but allowing entry via daemon. Post 303029220 by cjdavis618 on Wednesday 23rd of January 2019 11:03:09 AM

SCO 5.0.7 server - Message - Root Account is disabled - but allowing entry via daemon.

SCO 5.0.7 server on an HP Proliant ML350G5 with E200 raid controller.

The message on the server during boot says this message in several places. "Root Account Disabled, but allowing entry via deamon"

At this point, there are some hardware issues to work through first. One is that we don't have a working floppy to boot that includes the Raid controller driver, but we also suspect the floppy drive itself is also failed. (Along with other critical systems) Dat Drive, 1 raid drive, Raid Controller battery.

This company that is begging for help now basically left it in the closet and never did any maintenance or ever even changed the tape.


So my question is really 2 fold.

1. Is there anyone out there that has one of these systems that could provide disk images that are preloaded to work with the HP E200 SAS controller for SCO so we can reset the root login?

2. What steps would be needed to reset the root login and correct the Daemon only issue? Any advice would be helpful.

NAME
dtsd - Restarts the DTS daemon SYNOPSIS
dtsd [options] [-d] [-w serviceability] dtsd [-s [-k courier|noncourier] [-g] [-o]] dtsd -c ARGUMENTS
Debug mode. The command will run in the foreground. See svcroute(5) for the full description of the appropriate format for this entry. Only the three-field format, severity:how:where, is used. An example is: FATAL:TEXTFILE:/dev/console Run as a server. Default is backup, courier, local server Run dtsd as a global server. Run dtsd as a courier. Run dtsd as a noncourier. When enabling as a server, set the clock immediately. Equivalent to the command enable set clock true in dtscp or to the command dcecp dts activate -abruptly. Run dtsd as a clerk. DESCRIPTION
The dtsd command invokes the DTS daemon (clerk or server process). This command is usually executed as part of the overall DCE startup script, rc.dce. You can enter the command manually under the following conditions: If a DTS daemon fails to start automatically upon reboot If you want to restart a daemon that you shut down to perform a backup or do diagnostic work In normal rebooting, the rc.dce script automatically provides arguments appropriate to the choice of configuration options. The command line arguments shown here can also be provided to dced as part of the fixed configuration strings, if dced is configured to automatically start the dtsd. If dtsd is started with no arguments (other than -d and -w), then the server must be started with dcecp. The following example configures a local server: dcecp> dts configure -notglobal dcecp> dts activate Privilege Required DTS runs as the host machine principal, which is usually root. See the Security reference pages for information about principals. NOTES
Use dtsd interactively only when troubleshooting; use the rc.dce script to start the DTS daemon. On some systsems the superuser is associ- ated with the machine principal. EXAMPLES
To restart the daemon, follow these steps: Log in to the system as superuser (root). Use the ps command to make sure that dced and cdsadv are running. (The DCE daemon provides the endpoint mapping and security services, and cdsadv provides CDS.) Enter the following command to restart the dts daemon as a clerk: $ dtsd -c To restart the dts daemon as a server, use dtsd -s and to restart it as a global server, setting the clock on startup, use dtsd -s -g -o RELATED INFORMATION
Commands: dtscp(1m), dtsdate(1m), dcecp(1m). Books: OSF DCE Administration Guide dtsd(1m)
