Hi,

# pwck /etc/passwd
check for bad characters in the passwd file, remove/replace them and try the convertion again.

What was the method you used to convert your system to trusted mode.

Generally SAM tool does a good job of convertion.

Hi,

you could use tsconvert but SAM is the preferred way. I have not seen this error till now.
