It's probably a good idea to enable the hardware password feature on our Solaris consoles anyway (or is it?), but if there's a program bundled with Solaris that will spit out that address, there's an added reason for doing so. :-)
You can do the same thing on almost any system with a kernel debugger and a "console". On a RS/6000, put the keyswitch in "service" position and press CTRL-\ on the async console. If you get a debugger prompt, whammo, you're in. The moral of the story is PROTECT YOUR HARDWARE, DAMNIT. -- John F.
