Passwords Files; Systems Management Tasks - Sun Microsystems Fire V20z Management Manual

Passwords Files

Passwords for local, non-IPMI users are stored in a standard Linux
shadow-password file which enhances the security of the system. The hashed
passwords are in a file that is not readable by users.
Passwords for IPMI users are stored separately. The IPMI password file is not
readable by users, but passwords are stored unencrypted because of limitations
imposed by the IPMI authentication algorithms.
