System Administration Commands                        sulogin(1M)



NAME
     sulogin - access single-user mode

SYNOPSIS
     sulogin


DESCRIPTION
     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(1M)
     and  msglog(7D)  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(1M) and login(1) are affected by  the  value
             of SLEEPTIME.

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.
