Creating IDs on HPUX 11.x
HPUX 11.0. Want to create a set of IDs (about 4 or them) for various teams to use to logon to the server. However, client does not want teams to logon directly to the server (via console, telnet etc) with these IDs. Rather, they want the teams to logon with their own ID then su to the new ID. IDs are to be used only for support purposes and they will be scripting the session when in use. Can this be done? If so, how?

It is easier in solaris since you can use "role" declarations in /etc/user_attr.

I'm not sure if HPUX has a built-in for limiting general account login, but if you are using ssh, you can simply use the DenyUsers directive to list the accounts that you don't want to allow direct login for:

DenyUsers user2 user4

Let me know if you aren't using ssh as the login method. I have another option, but it's more involved and I'll post it if need be.

Cheers,

Keith

Yeah, I knew about the "role" method in Solaris. That is exactly what we have used on those machines, but now want something very similar on the HPUX boxes. We are not currently using SSH. Thanks for your reply.
