Restoring trusteduser/groups

Jerome D'silva — Wed, 27 Nov 2002 04:42:14 GMT

Hi,
I am using trusted security on HPUX 11,0 and want to move the users/groups to another system running HPUX 11.0 .How do I move these users/groups with their passwords ? .Is it OK if we copy the /tcb/auth ?

Thanks
Jerome

Yes, if you are moving all the users and groups, simply copy the /tcb directory, /etc/passwd, and /etc/group (and possibly /home). Remember, the UID/GIDs need to be the same, so if there are any users already created with a different UID, you will need to change the ownership of their files.

Make sure that the system you are copying to has had the trust enabled first.

# /usr/lbin/tsconvert (on the destination server)
