I received two suggestions:
#1 from Benjamin Smith <smith.beno_at_epa.gov>:
============================================
we've had success by replicating /etc/passwd, group and /var/tcb/files/auth.db;
i may run authck following the migration just to be sure everything moved okay.
#2 from Richard Rogers <R.M.Rogers_at_staffs.ac.uk>
================================================
Assuming both systems are set up for C2, you will need...
The /etc/passwd file
The /tcb/files/auth.db file (if present)
The /var/tcb/files/auth.db file (if present)
The /tcb/files/auth/ directory and all its subdirectories
I think that should get you there (not forgetting mkpasswd of
course...)
I have not tried either yet, but believe in my case, copying
/var/tcb/files/auth.db and running authck will suffice. I don't need to
change the passwords for users under uid 99. Nor to I want to have passwd
out of sync with actual user accounts.

Original Question:

> I need to reproduce the current passwords from the live system on the
> test system.
>
> Prior to C2 security, copying the password file would suffice (I think).
> On Ultrix, I could copy both the passwd file and the auth database or
edit

> Can anyone suggest a method for doing this on DEC Unix 4.0D?
