I got the confirmation that the account was ready with the password
"newpass," and advised to change it. Indeed, when I try to run dsm
without changing it, I get the error dialog:
ANS5155E Valid Password not available. The adsm administrator for
your system must run ADSM and enter the password to store it
locally.
Then, trying to run setpass, the script fails.
I reported this bug this week on an *unupdated* TORA. It panicked
yesterday, and now has Athena 8.1.17, but I still get the failure.
Here is my setpass attempt:
athena% attach adsm
athena% su
Password:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH: Undefined variable.
athena% /mit/adsm/setpass
LD_LIBRARY_PATH: Undefined variable
athena% setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH ""
athena% /mit/adsm/setpass
