Folks,
Is there anybody try to convert HP's tcb files strcture to Sun's shadow file or vice versa?

Please share your information.

I don't think there is any way to do that.

There is a version of Solaris 8 called Trusted Solaris 8. See more information here: http://docs.sun.com/

Other than that Sun's /etc/shadow and HPs /tcb file structures are incompatible, I think.

What if I use scripts to get all the password information from HP's tcb files then write into the Sun's shadow files?

Re: password conversion

Are you looking to synchronize passwords between the two systems for users?

Your idea may work, but I've never tried anything like it.

Yes, that is what I want to do. Do you have some suggestions for this?

Thanks
