First, I want to thank the following people for their answers:
        
        Jorge Granjal, Richard Young, John Pritchard, Natalia Salzberg,
Michael James, Martin Mokrejs, Don Newcomer, Vialette and Lou Mullikin

My question was: how to make a backup of the all the passwords when
using C2 enhaced security.

Here's my summary:

- There's usefull info ina the authck, convuser and edauth man pages

- Passwords in C2 are kept under /tcb/files/auth in alphabetical order
(DU 3.2)

- Passwords are kept in a database called auth.db under /tcb/files and
under /var/tcb/files

- An option is to take the system out of enhanced security, and then
make a backup copy of /etc/passwd (which will have encrypted passwords)
