In Ekiga... go to "Edit Accounts" or use Ctrl-E.
Then under "Accounts" in the pulldown menu... (There are no options to add an account in the popup window... you have to find them in the pulldown menu (Unity on Ubuntu). Some people even think you can't use Ekiga with non Ekiga SIP accounts since they can't get past this step and even rated it low based on this, but the software is good. I have not used their pay service yet, but since they are generous enough to offer free accounts, and free software it might be worth giving them a look and buying some VOIP minutes if you need to call landlines.
Name: Google Hangout (Whatever you want to call it)
User: <YourEmailAddress@gmail.com>
Server: talk.google.com
Port: 5222
Resource: Ekiga
Password: <YourPassword>
Once finished under the accounts tab you should see a status of "connected".

How to Determine if an HP-UX Account is Locked
/usr/lbin/getprpw -l <account>
/usr/lbin/modprpw -k <account>
You need to know if accounts are locked
System may be a "trusted" system which means that it has higher security
enabled.
On a non-trusted system the /etc/passwd file will contain the information:
man passwd:
-s name Display some password attributes associated with the
specified name. Superuser privilege and non-trusted
mode is required if the files repository is specified.
The format of the display will be:
name status mm/dd/yy min max warn
or, if password aging information is not present
(#### e.g. that info is held in tcb directories ###)
name status
where status means: PS =passworded; LK =locked; and NP=no password.
passwd -s -a:
PS =passworded; LK =locked; and NP=no password
on a trusted system the /tcb directory structure holds the lock info;
man getprpw:
lockout returns the reason for a lockout in a "bit" valued string, where 0 = condition not present, 1 is present.
The position, left to right represents:
1 past password lifetime
2 past last login time (inactive account)
3 past absolute account lifetime
4 exceeded unsuccessful login attempts
5 password required and a null password
6 admin lock
7 password is a *
(If the user is NOT locked, all bits will be 0)
getprpw:
for USER in `awk -F: '{print $1}' /etc/passwd`
do
printf $USER
printf " "
/usr/lbin/getprpw -m lockout,alock $USER
done
/usr/lbin/modprpw -k <account>

MSL6000 Service password
The default service password is 5566.
Default Factory password is 56789.
If you have lost the level 1 or level 2 passwords the factory password can be used to reset them.
If the password is no longer set to the defaults... you can discover the current password by using the MSLUTIL.exe via a serial connection. There is no need to know the serial settings as the utility will autodiscover them. The current configuration does not have to be reset and the password will be displayed in plain text. You will need the correct serial cable.
More information can be obtained here:
