Hi,
We had used Bastille to harden our HP-UX servers.Today afternoon onwards no user is able to login and the error message is "Account is disabled - see Account Administrator".Even logging from the console has stopped with the same error.Also,root login is facing the same problem.Can anyone suggest some way out?
Thanks in advance,
Sauvik Basu.

Shalom Sauvik,
You choose the option to convert your system to trusted. This sets a hard limit, 90 days on how long an account can remain in use without a password change.
Probably password changes were not enforced before the conversion.
root login should re-enable the root account on all login modes.
Your accounts are expired even if you convert back from trusted mode to normal.
I suggest you login as root and use sam to set general system policy.
Then:
cp /etc/passwd /tmp/userlist
while read -r DATA
do
user=$(echo $DATA | awk -F: '{print $1}'
passwd -n 7 -w 7 -x 90 $user
done < /tmp/userlist
# You probably will need a modprpw command to this loop to unlock the user.
rm -f /tmp/userlist
