The procedure was developed by Jason Heirtzler of Boston University, and I added a comment or two (I hope that's OK with you, Jason). Also, William LeFebvre contributed. Here it is: [[Ed's Note: The text of this message from jdh@bu-pub.bu.edu has been removed - see previous message for updated text direct from the author. I have retained this mesage and the extra comments, though. -bdg]] | From: phil@pex.eecs.nwu.edu (William LeFebvre) This is really nit-picky, but I was curious why all the other make rules got away without the quotes. Turns out that the syntax error is really in the c2secure rule. The "make" like of that rule should read: make 'NOPUSH=$(NOPUSH)' passwd.adjunct.time group.adjunct.time;\ What's missing is the single quotes around the NOPUSH=... Final note: The /bin/lockscreen does not verify passwords correctly when using the C2 security option. You have to order a fixed binary from Sun. Ole H.
