DIAGNOSTICS
When a user attempts to execute the authorization service, several error messages may result. Most of those
messages are documented below. The error messages resulting from a locally invoked authorize all begin
with authorize:
Sorry, whitespace in a DKKEY is forbidden.
The DKKEY variable must not contain certain non-printing characters.
The password for this login has expired.
You’ll need to get it rejuvenated first.
The authorize program will not allow a user to become authorized to a login that has an expired
password. The user should "rejuvenate" the password on the remote system and try again.
You’re just guessing.
This occurs if the user attempts to login incorrectly more than three times in a row.
Sorry, root not allowed.
The root user ID cannot be authorized on a remote system.
You are too slow.
This is printed when the authorize program times out.
Your entry on destination has been deleted.
This is printed when the ’Please login:’ prompt is answered with a blank line. The current
authorization (if any) is deleted on the remote destination host.
The file uidtab is corrupted, so you can’t be authorized.
Please notify the System Administrator for host.
The uidtab is the user ID mapping table [see dkuidtab(4)]. The authorize program will currently
detect one type of corruption. If the number of fields in a line of uidtab is less than three, this
message is printed. The host is the remote host specified on the command line.
You are currently being mapped into user.
where user is a user name and one of the following self-explanatory messages will be printed:
That user no longer exists on this machine.
But the password has changed.
But the password has expired.
authorize: permission denied to user login.
A user other than root is not permitted to specify a login other than her/his own with the -l option.
authorize: could not open file uidfile for reading.
The specified uidfile does not exist or could not be opened for reading.
authorize: the file uidfile is corrupted.
Please notify the System Administrator for host.
One type of corruption is detected: the number of fields in a line of the specified uidfile is not three.
The host is the local host on which authorize was executed.
