SULOGIN(8) Maintenance Commands and Procedures SULOGIN(8)
NAME
sulogin - access single-user mode
SYNOPSIS
suloginDESCRIPTION
The
sulogin utility is automatically invoked by
init when the system
is first started. It prompts the user to type a user name and
password to enter system maintenance mode (single-user mode) or to
type
EOF (typically CTRL-D) for normal startup (multi-user mode). The
user should never directly invoke
sulogin. The user must have the
solaris.system.maintenance authorization.
The
sulogin utility can prompt the user to enter the root password on
a variable number of serial console devices, in addition to the
traditional console device. See
consadm(8) and
msglog(4D) for a
description of how to configure a serial device to display the
single-user login prompt.
FILES
/etc/default/sulogin Default value can be set for the following flag:
PASSREQ Determines if login requires a password. Default is
PASSREQ=YES.
/etc/default/login Default value can be set for the following flag:
SLEEPTIME If present, sets the number of seconds to wait before login
failure is printed to the screen and another login attempt is
allowed. Default is
4 seconds. Minimum is
0 seconds. Maximum
is
5 seconds.
Both
su(8) and
login(1) are affected by the value of
SLEEPTIME.

su(8)NOTES
By default, the root user has all authorizations.
Granting the
solaris.system.maintenance authorization to the Console
User Rights Profile may have an undesirable side effect of granting
the currently logged in user maintenance mode access. The
solaris.system.maintenance authorization should be directly granted
to appropriate users rather than through the Console User Rights
Profile.
