Hi Admins,

Compaq ES40, Tru64 V5.1.
I have just enabled enhanced security on the above.
CDE access still works OK from user accounts.
When I try to use a configuration tool (eg dxaccounts), I am prompted for
the root password as before.
I enter it, then ... nothing.

I have issued the following edauth command

echo '*\:*:v_type=xdisplay:chkent:' | /tcb/bin/edauth -s -dv
echo '*\:*:t_devname=*\:*:t_login_timeout#0:t_xdisplay:chkent:' |
/tcb/bin/edauth -s -dt

Still nothing. Any ideas?


Kind regards
