how to find whether the host is trusted host or not.

Hi:

You have a trusted environment if you have a 'tcb' directory as '/tcb/files/auth/system/default'.

Hi,

You can go to SAM and findout. Simple way is, to find the /tcb directory existance.

#ll -d /tcb

If this directory exist, it means system is trusted.

Shalom,

Note if you don't want it to be trusted, you can use /etc/tsconvert -r to revert back to not trusted mode.

shadowpassword is available for supported versions of HP-UX at http://software.hp.com

Trusted system has been deprecated as of 11.31 11iv3

Hi,

The best and recommanded way to convert the system is using SAM though "tsconvert" command is available.

Goto SAM -> Auditing and Security -> Select any sub menu -> System will prompt this
" Do you want to convert to a Trusted System now?" -> Select Yes to convert the system.

Select sam path -> Actions and uncovert the system.

Hi (again):

You don't offer what release of HP-UX you are running. The Trusted Computing Base is deprecated at 11.31 and 11.31 is currently scheduled to be the last release to support it.

In my opinion, you may be far better served if you convert to a shadow password implementation.

Hi,

you can convert a non-trusted host to trusted by issuing

# tsconvert

and from trusted to non-trusted system, issue

# tsconvert -r
