Hi,
I have HP.UX 11.11 in a production server and i am doing a DR for it. In my production server, the /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow file exists for user-ids. but in my DR box, only /etc/passwd file exists.
Now, i have to copy my production user-ids with their passwords to the DR box. How would i do this as the DR box does not have the /etc/shadow file. How the users retain their old passwords in DR as of production.
Thanks

Re: Merging of Passwd and shadow file
You can try pwunconv, which will remove shadow file and put the info to passwd file.

Hi Ranju:
It sounds like you have a great many more questions to resolve than simply copying accounts and passwords from one server to another!
That said, however, the shadow password implementation is the current standard for HP-UX. Since your production server uses it, your backup server most certainly should too!
Since your operating system version is 11.11 you will need to fetch and install the 'ShadowPassword' product:
http://h20392.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=ShadowPassword
Use 'pwconv' to convert. See the manpages:

Re: Merging of Passwd and shadow file
Thanks JRF..
I will install that Bundle and then try to run the pwconv command.
Closing this thread as of now.
