Assigning Passwords on Managed Nodes
About OVO Security
About Security in OVO Operations
This section explains how to assign passwords on UNIX, MPE/iX,
Microsoft Windows NT, and Novell NetWare managed nodes.
Assigning Passwords on UNIX Managed Nodes
On UNIX managed nodes, the default OVO operator opc_op cannot login
into the system through normal login, telnet, and so on because of a *
entry in the /etc/passwd file and because.rhosts entries are not
provided. If you want to provide a virtual terminal or application startup
(requiring a Window (Input/Output)) for the default OVO operator, set
the password or provide .rhosts or /etc/hosts.equiv functionality.
NOTE The opc_op password should be consistent for all managed nodes.
For example, if$HOME is the home directory on the managed node, the
$HOME/.rhosts entry of the executing user would be:
opc_op
Assigning Passwords on MPE/iX Managed Nodes
NOTE MPE/iX managed nodes are not supported by OVO for Sun Solaris.
On MPE/iX managed nodes, the default OVO operator MGR.OVOPR does
not have a password assigned. You can set a password for user MGR, for
his home group PUB, or for the account OVOPR.
By default, no passwords are set for the following:
❏ Account Passwords
OVOPC and OVOPR
❏ Group Passwords
OVOPC and OVOPR
❏ User Passwords
MGR.OVOPC, AGENT.OVOPC, and MGR.OVOPR
