Since the instruction are to delete the u_pwd field, maybe someone already did that and you actually have some other problem? Did someone else already try to remedy the problem? Or are you actually editing root's profile? That wasn't what the suggestion said to do. There is no way to guess what file you are looking at from your post... maybe you have the wrong file entirely. Read "man 4 authcap". It is customary but not requred for u_pwd to be on a separate line, could that be the problem? Other than that, it beats me.

Any solution would be helpful.

Hi All,
It seems that someone in my organization had changed the root password
on a SCO Openserver 6 box.
Apparently, there are no emergency boot disks. I think they were never

use the Openserver 6 media installations... (2 Replies)

verify_krb5_conf
VERIFY_KRB5_CONF(8) BSD System Manager's Manual VERIFY_KRB5_CONF(8)
NAME
verify_krb5_conf -- checks krb5.conf for obvious errors
SYNOPSIS
verify_krb5_conf [config-file]
DESCRIPTION
verify_krb5_conf reads the configuration file krb5.conf, or the file given on the command line, parses it, checking verifying that the syntax
is not correctly wrong.
If the file is syntactically correct, verify_krb5_conf tries to verify that the contents of the file is of relevant nature.
ENVIRONMENT
KRB5_CONFIG points to the configuration file to read.
FILES
/etc/krb5.conf Kerberos 5 configuration file
DIAGNOSTICS
Possible output from verify_krb5_conf include:
<path>: failed to parse <something> as size/time/number/boolean
Usually means that <something> is misspelled, or that it contains weird characters. The parsing done by verify_krb5_conf is more
strict than the one performed by libkrb5, so strings that work in real life might be reported as bad.
<path>: host not found (<hostname>)
Means that <path> is supposed to point to a host, but it can't be recognised as one.
<path>: unknown or wrong type
Means that <path> is either a string when it should be a list, vice versa, or just that verify_krb5_conf is confused.
<path>: unknown entry
Means that <string> is not known by verify_krb5_conf.
SEE ALSO
krb5.conf(5)
BUGS
Since each application can put almost anything in the config file, it's hard to come up with a watertight verification process. Most of the
default settings are sanity checked, but this does not mean that every problem is discovered, or that everything that is reported as a possi-
ble problem actually is one. This tool should thus be used with some care.
It should warn about obsolete data, or bad practice, but currently doesn't.
