Hi everybody, I have an AlphaServer with DU 4.0b and C2 installed, and I
need to convert their passwords to BASE security, so I can take the
/etc/passwd and use it in some other machine (for radius purposes) so I
won't need to give the users new passwords.
I am using another alphaserver and I restaured a backup on it so it
looks almos identical to the first one. With things in this way, I run
the /usr/tcb/bin/convuser -b command and the system starts to convert
users, everything works fine, except for some users that appear with the
word Nologin as their password, I checked them with the XIsso utility
and it claims that those users are locked, so I checked it with the
/usr/tcb/bin/edauth command and the only thing I could find faulty of
this is that the users have a lot of unsuccessful logins, always more
than the default, so I raised the default tries, but the accounts are
still blocked.
The problem affects almost 500 users and I don't want to use the XIsso
GUI to unlock their accounts to have a successful passwords conversion,
because this application takes too long, almost 30 seconds for each
user, so I want to know if someone knows a better way to do this
conversion or how to unlock all those accounts with a shell script from
a character terminal.
Thanks a lot for your help.
