Hello,

A less drastic method is to grant read access to /etc/shadow to just the
netcool user (or whichever non-root user you're running nco_pad as) using
the setfacl command in Solaris (Solaris 9 and above I think).

But, again, you must consider the security ramifications of this.

Regards,

-Alex
