SUMMARY: Sudden problem with shared user accounts
2007-12-25 4:02:00
Brian Beers suggested something which solved my problem. He suggested that I
run the profile listing each shared ID one at a time to determine when it
bombs.
I had a shared user account "ct". Since the 'who' command started returning
the date "Oct 1", a match was made, and the test succeeded, and all people
logging in were trapped by the test.
Talk about a "BFO" (Blinding Flash of the Obvious).
Many thanks to Brian (BBeers at verisign.com), and these others:
Christopher McNabb (cmcnabb at vt.edu) - who suggested an alternative method
which I am investigating.
Roland.Merk at AUDI.DE
crist.clark at globalstar.com - who pointed out a weakness in the process I am
using
ramanathan meyyappan (ramanathan at walla.com)
And I wish to thank all those who are on vacation. I'll be on vacation next
week, but I promise I won't tell the world.
