Your system is not in trusted mode.
Check it with :
# /usr/lbin/modprpw

You are probably trying to use that option on a standard (untrusted system). Convert your system to trusted via the tsconvert command but you should know the implications of that action. You can also use SAM to convert to a Trusted system.

Viswanadhan,

Open a new thread, yet the main features which we use are:
Password and System Security policies. Like Account expiration and lengths. time based access controls. and most importantly, encrypted password DB.
and Auditing: Many things like commands, events can be logged to make the system more controlable.
