The Release Notes for the above releases have a chapter called
Security Enhancements for this release. There is a section
called Removing security database files which state:
It is possible to completely remove the commands and
data files associated with the security enhancements
in SCO UNIX System V.
The Release Notes explain the consequences and what features
will no longer be operable. The procedure for removing the
security database files is also explained.
For testing purposes before removing the actual directories
do the following:
1) create a file in /etc/default called 'security' with
one line in it, as follows:
TCBFILES=OFF
2) mvdir /tcb /tcb.org
mvdir /etc/auth /etc/auth.org
NOTE:
There are known problems that have been reported to engineering
following the removal of the TCB database files.
1) Terminals may become disabled preventing logins. A fix is
available for this.
2) mscreen will report error messages that can be ignored.
