Re: Turning to trusted mode
You can't convert from using a /etc/shadow file directly to a trusted system.
If you want to turn off /etc/shadow and turn on trusted, then you will have to:
Move all password information back into /etc/passwd from /etc/shadow with
# pwunconv
Now convert to trusted with
# tsconvert

Re: Turning to trusted mode
Hi patrick,
Thanks for your help,
does use of # pwunconv command affects current users and their passwords.

If the passwords are longer than 8 it will.

SolutionSince the shadow password security feature allows passwords longer than 8 characters, converting to default security will affect these passwords. You can preview these passwords using: pwck -l
If any are reported, change the affected user passwords to 8 or less characters and then run pwunconv. Now you can convert to trusted without any problems.
