Account Manager - Sco OpenServer 5.0.7

[dellit]

Hi,

When I open Account Manager from scoadmin, the message appears:

"Unable to get initial list of users:
(Unable to get initial list of users
Failed to process the scoped request.
General failure occurred in processing the request
Could not access file /etc/passwd.)
File does not exist or has improper access permiss
Error while executing: 'Account Manager',
(exit code: 1)"

Also has he happened to you?

Thanks for the help !!!!

Doesn't happen to me, but check your permissions. On our box they're:

-rw-rw-r-- 1 bin auth 3629 Jan 8 15:13 /etc/passwd

Hope this helps.

I don't mind people who aren't what they seem. I just wish they'd make their mind up.

Have had the same problem once. The protections weren't right. They have to be as mentioned above.
You set them straight by:
#chmod 664 /etc/passwd
#chown bin:auth /etc/passwd

Good luck

man integrity

Hope This Helps, PH.

Hi,

thanks for the answers. My "passwd" at present in practice is the following:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root sys 38 Aug 3 2005 /var/opt/K/SCO/U
nix/5.0.7Hw/etc/passwd

I will at once try the modifications suggested by you.

Thanks

Hi,
I have set up permissions this way:

#chmod 664 /etc/passwd
#chown bin:auth /etc/passwd

-rw-rw-r-- 1 bin auth 3629 Jan 8 15:13 /etc/passwd

But account manager does not work yet!

Helpme!!

Check the permissions on your /etc/group
They should be the same as the /etc/passwd

Did you try PHV's suggestion of running /tcb/bin/integrity?
