Enabling Logins When Logins Are Disabled

As a security measure, your administrator can configure your site so that all logins are disabled after a reboot. If a reboot has occurred and you are not authorized to enable logins, the dialog box shown in Figure 2-9 appears; you must notify your Trusted Solaris administrator to help you log in. If you are authorized to enable logins, the dialog box shown in Figure 2-10 appears.
