HP-UX B11.11 Trusted mode error message

[KiT_11]

Appreciate any feedbacks.

I'm currently running HP-UX B11.11 and trying to change it to trusted mode for security reasons.

I've tried doing it via SAM and command line but I'm getting a simillar error.

Via command line

xxx:root> /usr/lbin/tsconvert
Creating secure password database...
Directories created.
Making default files.
System default file created...
Terminal default file created...
Device assignment file created...
Moving passwords...
Can't write protected database;
password file unchanged.

Via SAM


The attempt to convert this system to a trusted system failed. The command return value was "-1" and the standard error output was: Can't write protected database; password file unchanged.

From the manuals and guides, it seems quite straight forward or is there a possibility I have left out something?

Thanks.

Does the /tcb directory structure already exist? Remove it and try again.

Hi,


No../tcb is deleted after it fails to convert to trusted mode.

>/tcb is deleted after it fails to convert to trusted mode.

If it is not due to the existence of /tcb/. Do you have enough space in /?

I suppose you could use "tusc -fp" to see what is failing.

Shalom,

Note: trusted mode has been deprecated in 11.31 which makes it a dead end technology. Beloved by me but dead end.

I believe this is probably due to a lack of disk space on root or the inability to create the folder /tcb

I believe space is sufficient

/dev/vg00/lvol3 1048576 145141 847026 15% /

Its quite weird I must say.

Thanks.

I've manage to resolve the problem.

It's caused by some change in my /etc/passwd file which i've added some false bin for security.

Thanks a lot!

Cheers
