HP-UX 11i version 2 Shadow file

I have ahp-ux 11i server with no shadow file ond no passwords in /etc/password. It was converted to a trusted system does anyone know the location of the encrypted passwords ??? so I can run them through a password cracker to ensure users are using storng passwords

Trusted systems keep passwords in individual files (named with the usernames of the accounts) under /tcb/files/auth/[A-z].

Hi Robert:

Have a look at the library function 'getprpwent(3)' and the files in '/tcb/files/auth/*/*;.

Regards!
