NAME

SYNOPSIS

9       sulogin

DESCRIPTION

13       The sulogin utility is automatically invoked by init when the system is
14       first started. It prompts the user to type a user name and password  to
15       enter  system maintenance mode (single-user mode) or to type EOF (typi‐
16       cally CTRL-D) for normal startup (multi-user  mode).  The  user  should
17       never  directly  invoke  sulogin.  The  user must have the solaris.sys‐
18       tem.maintenance authorization.

21       The sulogin utility can prompt the user to enter the root password on a
22       variable  number  of  serial console devices, in addition to the tradi‐
23       tional console device. See consadm(1M) and msglog(7D) for a description
24       of  how  to  configure a serial device to display the single-user login
25       prompt.

NOTES

72       By default, the root user has all authorizations.
73
74
75       Granting the solaris.system.maintenance authorization  to  the  Console
76       User Rights Profile may have an undesirable side effect of granting the
77       currently logged in user  maintenance  mode  access.  The  solaris.sys‐
78       tem.maintenance authorization should be directly granted to appropriate
79       users rather than through the Console User Rights Profile.
