Operating System: Digital Unix v3.2B
System: Alpha server 2000 4/233
A group of users require that they login with username and password in
upper-case.
As a test, I created a username and password in upper-case. On logging-in,
the username is accepted but from thereon the operating system places a
backslash before each character as it seems to think that the terminal
supports only upper-case. Hence the password is not accepted.
With SunOs, the file /etc/gettytab can be set-up with terminals having the
lc parameter which lets the operating system know that the terminal can
support lower case.
Is there a way of setting up LAT terminals such that usernames and passwords
in upper-case can be specified? The user enters an application package after
logging on.
Thanks,
