 Security Measures for Operating System Users 

To protect the operating system users, change their passwords.

User

Type

Change the Password Using

<sid>adm

UNIX user

UNIX command passwd

sqd<sid>

UNIX user

UNIX command passwd

Changing the Passwords for <sid>adm and sqd<sid>

       1.      Log on using the user <sid>adm.

       2.      Enter the passwd command at the UNIX prompt.

       3.      Enter the old and new passwords.

Repeat the procedure for the user sqd<sid>.

If you use Network Information Service (NIS), you should also refer to the NIS guide and the operating system documentation, since changing the password with an activated NIS may be different from changing it with passwd.
