Freeway User Guide
4.2 Freeway Login Access
You must provide a username and password in order to access the Freeway Interactive
Menu. Once you make a connection to the Freeway via local or remote console, the fol-
lowing login prompt appears:
Freeway User Login:
At this point you can log in to the Freeway using the Freeway user name (default is free-
way
) and password (default is password):
Freeway User Login: freeway
Password:
password
The password is not actually displayed on the screen.
Caution
The Freeway user name and password are used to access the
Freeway Interactive Menu. They are not to be confused with the
FTP user name and FTP password (which have defaults of
freeway
and password). The latter are Freeway system boot parameters
which are used between Freeway and the boot server during system
boot (see Section 4.6.1 on page 105).
4.2.1 Default Usernames and Passwords
When you first install Freeway, a set of default usernames and passwords are in effect.
Ta bl e 4 –1 lists the default usernames and corresponding passwords.
To change the user names and/or passwords, login in with a root account and use the
Modify User Names menu described in Section 4.6.2 on page 110. A good start on
securing your Freeway would be to remove the “user”, “protogate”, and “simpact”
accounts, and change the passwords of the 3 accounts that are left (“root”, “shell”, and
“freeway”).
