Hi,
A couple of months ago I and some others posted a question on how to fix a
problem with DU 3.2g when users get the message "terminal is disabled - see
account administrator". Well thanks to this list I got the answer, which
was to change the t_failures value in /etc/auth/system/ttys.
We seem to be getting more and more occurences of this , especially in the
early morning or on weekends. I suspect the night shift people are causing
the problem.
So what I am after is a script that I can run from crontab that will change
the t_failures values. Rather than re-invent the wheel, I was hoping that
someone would have one that they might like to share.
Thanks in advance
Glenn.
