No comments in relation to this question has been addressed.
2. Adding RZ28 to an existent filesystem:
=========================================

Most of those who responded suggested the use ADVFS for this it's really neet :)
alan_at_nabeth.cxo.dec.com Comments:
================================
LVM is being retired and replaced with LSM. I think LSM
first appeared in V2.0. Both do support the ability to
concatenate volumes. Unfortunately, neither UFS nor the
Advanced File System support having a single "device"
getting larger under them.
For UFS, you'd have to backup, create the new larger file
system and restore. If you go this route consider Striping
instead of concatenation. You'll need the LSM license, since
Striping is one of the licensed features.
For the Advanced File System, you can get the Advfs Utilities
and use addvol to just add the new device directly to the
domain.
3. Password Shadowing programs
===============================

Look for the C2 security extensions that comes standard with the base OS
and load them. Check the manuals. On 3.2, the subsets in question are
OSFC2SEC320 and OSFXC2SEC320.
Then, execute/run secsetup.
