TCB

[H_16]

I have a new server with users already created on it. However, I wish to run TCB. So I have copied the /tcb directory from another server.

After having problems with the root account. I removed the /tcb/files/auth/r/root entry.

Want I really need to know is, is there a TCB setup script or something similar ??

You need to run the tsconvert command. This will set up your trusted system and the TCB directories.

Hi,

Easiest way to convert is using SAM as follows:

sam => Auditing & Security => System Security Policies

at this point if the system is not in trusted mode it will point it out & ask you to confirm the conversion to Trusted.

BTW - I would remove the /tcb structure *before* you do this as it's likely to cause the conversion to fail. If you want to copy in /etc/passwd, /etc/group & the /tcb dir stucture after you convert - that's OK.

HTH,
Jeff

A safe way is to use SAM for this operation.
