See lost root password - and Ctrl-Alt-Delete which seems to mention a client having a problem with anyone being able to run the halt command - change the permissions on that file to close off that access.

Hi,

Thank you for your reply.
If I may not be wrong, I have fail you to understand. What i want is that how I will reboot the sco without root password. I did not forget the root password. For the security reason I will allow other user to reboot for some reasons.


Thanks,

Mostafizur Rahman

Sounds like you might want sudo . According to the documentation it will support SCO 5.0.5 so your milage may vary.

Cheers
