are limited to alphanumeric
characters and cannot exceed
32 characters in length. If a current
setup password is set, it must be
given through the --oldsetuppwd
option. This option is not
replicated.

A:>syscfg --setuppwd=
asetuppassword
The password has been
set. Please use a warm
reboot to apply the
password to the system.
