Howdy,
Here is a newbie question.
>From the Solaris 2.3 manpage on shadow:
---cut-----
password A 13-character encrypted password for the user,
a lock string to indicate that the login is not
accessible, or no string, which shows that there
is no password for the login.
----cut-----
We run the TIS toolkit. We don't run NIS. The FW forwards mail to the inside.
My firewall shadow file has three TYPES of entries as follows:
root:Drf83xjd83jd83.3:9999:::::: <----- NOT my real root passwd! But waste
your time if you want.
daemon:NP:6445:::::: <--- Is this the Lock string? or does NP=No passwd?
listen:*LK*::::::: <--- Is this the Lock string? *LK*=LOCK?
Is it safer to just delete unnecessary accounts such as uucp, lp, listen,
smtp etc?
If so which ones do we delete?
Are we paranoid?
TIA
Tom
