Disabling Accounts w/Digital Unix 4.0d

Hello!

I have a couple of Alpha Servers running Digital unix 4.0d with no patches
applied, running c2 security. What I want to do is lock a user account
for a temporary time. In dxaccounts I can "lock" the account but that
doesn't affect things like rsh and imapd.

Is it a function of the OS to lock a user out from daemon's started via
inetd or is it the daemon's responsibility to aask the OS if the user is
allowed to login ? My specific problem is that the UWashington IMAP
server will still let a locked user log in.

thanks!


Michael
