Hi Sivakumar,

To convert the system into trusted system the command is :
/usr/lbin/tsconvert

After converting it will create a directory /tcb/files/auth/*/*
Note: before converting into trusted system you have to modify /etc/nsswitch.conf file. In that file â passwd compact â has to be changed into â passwd filesâ

When you are converting into trusted system all the passwords will be expired. Your have to set the new passwords.

When you convert your system into trusted remember not to forget the root password, otherwise you will have to bring to single user mode to reset it.

To unconvert the trusted system with the following command:
/usr/lbin/tsconvert â

Hi Siva,

I would suggested you use SAM as a safe method to convert to trusted system. It is not that tsconvert wont serve the purpose but..Many of us have got bad experience with tsconvert. Also you can set different policies using SAM.

Run SAM --> Auditing and Security --> System Security Policies.
