HP-UX 11.23
I was running a trusted system and intended to convert to a nonsecure system (passwords in /etc/passwd).
Well, I'm not sure exaclty what happened but I ended up with the passwords in /etc/shadow.
I must have gave a wrong answer within bastille and it converted it to shadow passwords after I untrusted via Sam. I can see in the bastille log where the system was converted to shadow passwords. ..but I thought I answered all of the questions correctly. ??
Anyways, I now need to convert from shadow passwords to /etc/passwd.
My question is - Is a reboot really necessary after running the pwunconv command?
I'm seeing a mention of that in an v11.11 doc but the man pages and newer docs don't seem to mention it.
Are there any other gotchas?
Thanks,
Nic

Shalom,
The tsconvert utility works both ways, to trusted or from trusted to non-trusted. I would not describe the latter as not secure.
A reboot is not required but is a good idea after such a conversion for testing and validation purposes.
