C2 cvompliant means you are running a trusted system on HP-UX which means the /etc/passwd file is modified so that all passwords are not stored there anymore (all replaced with a * ), all the passwords are now stored in /tcb/files/auth/

This allows lots more options on accounts and passwords - basically additional security options (with the getprpw and modprpw commands).

The command to convert to a trusted system (or back again) is /usr/lbin/tsconvert, but there is no manpage for it. You can also convert using sam - I think this provides more info for you.
