Hi otheus ,
following are the contents of my pam.conf file

#
# PAM configuration
#
# Notes:
#
# If the path to a library is not absolute, it is assumed to be
# relative to the directory /usr/lib/security/$ISA/
#
# For PA applications, /usr/lib/security/$ISA/libpam_unix.so.1 is a
# symbolic link that points to the corresponding PA (32 or 64-bit) PAM
# backend library.
#
# The $ISA (i.e. Instruction Set Architecture) token will be replaced
# by the PAM engine with an appropriate directory string.
# See pam.conf(4).
#
# Also note that the use of pam_hpsec(5) is mandatory for some of
# the services. See pam_hpsec(5).

pwconv(1M)                                                System Administration Commands                                                pwconv(1M)

NAME
pwconv - installs and updates /etc/shadow with information from /etc/passwd SYNOPSIS
pwconv DESCRIPTION
The pwconv command creates and updates /etc/shadow with information from /etc/passwd. pwconv relies on a special value of 'x' in the password field of /etc/passwd. This value of 'x' indicates that the password for the user is already in /etc/shadow and should not be modified. If the /etc/shadow file does not exist, this command will create /etc/shadow with information from /etc/passwd. The command populates /etc/shadow with the user's login name, password, and password aging information. If password aging information does not exist in /etc/passwd for a given user, none will be added to /etc/shadow. However, the last changed information will always be updated. If the /etc/shadow file does exist, the following tasks will be performed: Entries that are in the /etc/passwd file and not in the /etc/shadow file will be added to the /etc/shadow file. Entries that are in the /etc/shadow file and not in the /etc/passwd file will be removed from /etc/shadow. Password attributes (for example, password and aging information) that exist in an /etc/passwd entry will be moved to the corre- sponding entry in /etc/shadow. The pwconv command can only be used by the super-user. FILES
