Oracle Solaris Trusted Extensions Administrator's Procedures

ProcedureHow to Log In to a Failsafe Session in Trusted Extensions

In Trusted Extensions, failsafe login is protected. If a regular user has customized shell initialization files and now cannot log in, you can use failsafe login to fix the user's files.

Before You Begin

You must know the root password.

  1. As in the Solaris OS, choose Options –> Failsafe Session on the login screen.

  2. At the prompt, have the user provide the user name and password.

  3. At the prompt for the root password, provide the password for root.

    You can now debug the user's initialization files.
