I converted the 11.23 box trusted host:
tsconvert
/usr/lbin/modprpw -V
Now these problems:
I cannot ssh as root to the box
Cannot change the root password - when it prompts for the old password, it doesn't recognize it.
Also I cannot su to root.
I cannot login as root even over the console connection.
I can still sudo to root but that's about all.
Is that normal behavior?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: Problem with modprpw -V
That was exactly the problem, root password got truncated to 8 chars.
What option can I use to allow passwords greater than 8 chars?

Set MIN_PASSWORD_LENGTH in '/etc/default/security'.
For the details, see:

Re: Problem with modprpw -V
I don't get it. My root passwd is greater than 8 chars, so that it should fulfill that requirement.
Now it doesn't seem to apply to root account anyway, per following?
MIN_PASSWORD_LENGTH
This attribute controls the minimum length of new passwords. It applies to trusted systems and to non-root users on standards systems.
***** This attribute applies only to non-root local users.
If the TrustedMigration product is installed, the system-wide default defined here may be overridden by defining per-user values in /var/adm/userdb (described in userdb(4)).

Re: Problem with modprpw -V
***Cannot change the root password - when it prompts for the old password, it doesn't recognize it.*****
try this at single user mode, just edit the file /tcb/files/auth/r/root and change
u_pwd=d28YO95ejx0gw:\ (whatever in your system)
to
u_pwd=:\
it will nullify your password, then you will be able to login as root and change your password. i faced this problem and i tried this way and sorted it out.

Re: Problem with modprpw -V
you should also be aware that your users may face the same issue. that will depend on how long their passwords were.
As I recall, this issue is documented somewhere in the conversion procedures, or at least a warning about such issues is there.
