Yep, that's kinda what I thought. I just wanted to make sure there wasn't a better way. Regarding ssh, you're preachin' to the choir. Unfortunately, this choir sings with but a single voice.<br />

Thanks again.

I was going to assign a 'B', but I didn't think the expert should be penalized for my lack of diligence. I simply ran out of time. However, with what little testing I did, I never succeeded in suppressing the password prompt.

I know it sounds counterintuitive, but I'm looking to suppress the password prompt for a select group of users on my IBM server running AIX 6.1. I haven't found anything any SMIT that will allow me to do that, and I haven't figured out how to hack the security files.

How can I suppress the password prompt for users logging in to an AIX (6.1) system

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.

Operating systems perform basic tasks, such as recognizing input from the keyboard, sending output to the display screen, keeping track of files and directories on the disk, and controlling peripheral devices such as disk drives and printers. For large systems, the operating system makes sure that different programs and users running at the same time do not interfere with each other. The operating system is also responsible for security, ensuring that unauthorized users do not access the system. Operating systems provide a software platform on top of which other programs, called application programs, can run.
