Hi All
I am getting the following errors in my syslog file.

I converted my K-class server from 10.20 to an
N-class server on 11.00.
The following messages keeps coming up in my syslog file. Please assist. Also the time fof the pam messages is way out.

Please check if your /etc/pam.conf file is configured properly for using the UNIX authentication. Starting HP-UX 11.0, the authentication happens through the Pluggable Authentication Module (PAM) framework.

The problem is most probably because the current user is not present in the /etc/passwd file or the authentication technology configured in the
/etc/pam.conf is pointing to an incorrect one.

Is there any user account with more than 8 characters.

PAM restricts user account login name length to 8 characters.
