restrict user access to terminal/ hosts

Hi Gurus,

Tried searching for something similiar in this forum but not really what i want. and i have tried to post in the forum but no constructive reply, so i decided to try in this forum. hope i can get some light out of it.

This is my case:

I have about 20 users running on sun workstation. We have done a upgrade recently and right now it seems that the users can access to terminal and console which they are not suppose to have. Smilie

Is there any way where I can take out these access from these users? Is there something i need to modify in the .dt?

Many Thank in advance. Smilie

looks to me that forum rules 1 and 4 have already been broken in this thread ... if you want quicker answers, you should really hire somebody ....


anyways, check "man -M /usr/dt/man dtwm" for hints to your questions ... replace "/usr/dt/man" if that is not the correct path on your OS ...

also, see if you can restore somebody's old $HOME/.dt directory and compare to current files to find what changed after the upgrade ...


good luck!

hi ice,

thanks for the suggestion. i mean this is not a matter of quickness. this thread has been posted since oct 2 and so far the responses i get was questions posting back to me or they are not really constructive ones. i do jolly well know the rules of this forum but it's kinda out of desperation....

i have surfed the net, asking around looking for answers and the amount of views i get don't seem to justify of me not getting a decent suggestion.

anyway back to the topic. try to restore someone's old $HOME/.dt directory but can't seem to get any thing out of it...

i will check out dtwm. thanks again ice.
