Sfgroups,

IF you want to be able to audit users and events on the system, you will have to convert to a trusted system if you haven't, and then go enable the auditing that you want to.
This is done in SAM, auditing and security.

Regards,

Jaime.

Hi:

If you have the file 'tcb/files/auth/system/default' then your system is trusted.

Hi

You may use the following command to check:
/usr/lbin/getprdef -r

Hi sfgroups,

Good day to you !
From the man page :

# man 4 passwd

'When the system has been converted to a trusted system, the encrypted passwords can be accessed only from the protected password database, /tcb/files/auth/*/*. Any user entry in the Network Information System database also must have an entry in the protected password database.'

Hope this information can help you.

Cheers,
AW

Sfgroups,

You can run # /usr/lbin/getprdef
and it will return if the system is trusted.

Cheers,
Raj.
