Converting system to trusted
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

audusr

audusr(1M)																audusr(1M)

NAME

       audusr - select users to audit

SYNOPSIS

       user] ...] user] ...]

DESCRIPTION

       is  used  to specify users to be audited or excluded from auditing.  The command only works for systems that have been converted to trusted
       mode.

       To select users to audit on systems that have not been converted to trusted mode, use  the  command.   See  also  audit(5),  userdbset(1M),
       userdb(4), and in security(4).

       If no arguments are specified, displays the audit setting of every user.  is restricted to privileged users.

   Options
       recognizes the following options:

	      Audit the specified
			user.	The  auditing  system records audit records to the ``current'' audit file when the specified user executes audited
			events or system calls.  Use to specify events to be audited (see audevent(1M)).

	      Do not audit the specified
			user.

	      Audit all users.

	      Do not audit any users.

       The and options are mutually exclusive: that is, if is specified, cannot be specified; if is specified, cannot be specified.

       Users specified with are audited (or excluded from auditing) beginning with their next login session,  until  excluded  from  auditing  (or
       specified  for  auditing)  with	a  subsequent invocation.  Users already logged into the system when is invoked are unaffected during that
       login session; however, any user who logs in after is invoked is audited or excluded from auditing accordingly.

WARNINGS

       HP-UX 11i Version 3 is the last release to support trusted systems functionality.

AUTHOR

       was developed by HP.

FILES
