long passwords

Werner Rips — Thu, 12 Jul 2001 09:48:31 GMT

We need a save root and user login.

Who knows how to enable long passwords on hpux 11.0 to get a saver system and saver root access?

Thanks in advance,
Werner

Hallo Werner

Um Ihre Systemsicherheit zu erh?hen wandeln Sie sie in ein verl??liches System um.

SAM
Auditing and Security ->
Audited Events

F?lle Ein Window stellt dann sich dar:-
Sie m?ssen in ein verl??liches System umwandeln, bevor Sie fortfahren.
Der Konvertierung Proze? tut die folgenden Sachen:
1. Erstellt eine gesch?tzte Datenbank auf dem System f?r die Speicherung von Sicherheit Informationen.
2. Verschiebt Benutzerkennw?rter in " / etc/passwd " auf diese Datenbank.
3. Ersetzt alle Kennwortfelder in " / etc/passwd " durch " * ".
WARNEND: Auf einem System mit gro?er Kennwortdatei, konnte das Umwandeln solange 10 Minuten nehmen. M?chten Sie in ein verl??liches System jetzt umwandeln?
W?hlen Sie JA zum contine aus.

Stellen Sie sicher, da? Sie ein Systembackup vor dem Fortfahren und auch einem "Ignite" tape haben.

Wenn Sie nicht haben anzuz?nden dann installiert, haben Sie einen Blick hier zu Information.

Hoffen Sie, da? dieses hilft Paula

Hi Werner

To increase your system security convert it to a trusted system.

SAM
Auditing and Security ->
Audited Events

A window will then present :-

You need to convert to a Trusted System before proceeding. The
conversion process does the following things:
1. Creates a protected database on the system for storing security
information.
2. Moves user passwords in "/etc/passwd" to this database.
3. Replaces all password fields in "/etc/passwd" with "*".

WARNING: On a system with large password file, converting could take
as long as 10 minutes.

Do you want to convert to a Trusted System now?

Select YES to contine.

Ensure that you have a system backup before proceeding and also an ignite tape.

If you do not have ignite installed then have a look here for information.

Hope this helps

Paula

Hi Werner:

You're looking for Trusted Systems. See chapter-8 (Administering a System: Managing System Security) in the "Managing Systems and Workgroups: A Guide for HP-UX System Administrators" manual:

Thank you people for telling me to switch to a trusted system, but seriously i forgot one thing, my system is a minimum system with no sam available.

So my question should be, can i convert to trusted system on a minimum system?

There's tow way to convert your system to trusted one:
1- Use sam
2-Use this commande: /etc/tsconvert. When you do it be sur that you have a new directory /tcb
(If you want to disable this mode use /etc/tsconvert.r)

Hello Werner,

you just need to use the command-line:
/usr/lbin/tsconvert
and to revert from there:
/usr/lbin/tsconvert -r

HTH,
