sam_exec is a user created via rsh when a machine is added to the the
administration cluster on that machine.
You would see an entry in your password file
like: sam_exec:YosemiteEncrypted:0:1:....
If you only have one hpux machine, then you most likely are not
remotely administrating another one. Unless of course you have
alterior motives :).

You might want to try adding your machine to the cluster list of itself.
I.E. - go into sam, and say "Remotely administrate yourself, mr. machine."
It should ask you for your root passwd once, and then go in and add sam_exec
to your passwd file. If you so this, and you get these results, please post
them to this list.
Thanks,
