Hi,
I need to convert few HP-UX (V 11.31) machines from un-trusted to trusted.
I used the HP SMH to do this on one server. However when I click on "Yes" to proceed with the conversion, I get this error :
HTML Code:
The attempt to convert this system to a trusted system failed.
The command return value was "-1" and the standard error output was:
The system cannot be converted while shadow passwords are in use.
I googled some solutions, and they suggested using “pwunconv” command to convert the passwords from shadow to non-shadow.
But this could lead to removing the whole PHI (Password Has Infrastructure) software, and user passwords or even user accounts would be eventually deleted.
Please suggest the best way to convert to trusted system, and if the option above is used, is there a way to restore the PHI software?
Thanks,
Aigini
