Hi,

I would like to convert my server into trusted system using tsconvert but the problem is it also changes the file permissions. are there any methods through which i can only secure the passwd file and not change the file permissions

You can use shadow password for securing passwd file.

This product requires HP-UX 11.11.

you try this link,

Hope this helps.

thru sam->Auditing and Securit->System Security Policies, u can convert ur system to trusted system.
it will ask ur conformation saying that:

You need to convert to a Trusted System before proceeding. The â â
â â conversion process does the following things: â â
â Câ â â
â â 1. Creates a protected database on the system for storing security â â
â â information. â â
â â 2. Moves user passwords in "/etc/passwd" to this database. â â
â â 3. Replaces all password fields in "/etc/passwd" with "*". â â
â â â â
â â A Trusted System can be easily changed back to a standard HP-UX â â
â â system by using the Actions menu in any of the SAM Auditing subareas. â â
â â â â
â â WARNING: On a system with a large password file, converting could â â
â â â â take as long as 10 - 15 minutes. â â â â
â [â â â
â â â â Do you want to convert to a Trusted System now?
yes? or no?

and it will convert ur system to trusted system.
