C2 to BASE security conversion

Hello,

I looked for this topic in the archives, but didn't find much
discussion.

I'm considering the need to revert one of my systems from C2 Enhanced
security back to BASE security. If anyone's done this, can you offer
comments? I'm dealing with about 4600 accounts on this system.

Do the passwords get retained?

Is 'convuser -b' the best way to handle this? Or do I run secsetup to
select BASE (and possibly that runs 'convuser -b')?

Does this note from the secsetup man page apply (or is this only when
converting to ENHANCED security)?
  NOTE: After secsetup is run, passwords that were originally entered
with
  more than 8 characters will match a string with ONLY the first 8
charac-
  ters.

I know that with Enhanced security, modifications must be made to permit
xdm access. With BASE security, what steps would I need to take to
*prevent* xdm access?

Thanks for your comments.
