Does anyone know how to kill the screen lock in Solaris. We have a number of users that when their screen locks cannot get back in due to NIS not recognising their password. Is there a way to terminate the screen lock without having to kill their dtsessions.

I have killed screen locks in 2.6 (I'm trying to remember what the process was, dtlock maybe, I can't remember specifically. Will re-post if I remember exactly.), but have not found a way in 2.7 or 2.8 yet....


Have a Great Day!! :)

thanks for your reply Sol.

I have found something that says in may have something to do with the configuration of /etc/pam.conf

Will look further tomorrow.
