I would like to know about it. DONT run c2unconv if you have a large password file. it will die in the middle and leave you with a few hours work to recover from it. I have sent something about this to SUN in Sydney about a year (at least) ago, and have heard nothing back. If you need to use something like c2unconv, have a look at the script, and where it recreates the passwd file, change the single sed into a list of seds executed in a loop so that the command line is not too long. The Audit part: unless you have heaps of disc, dont turn on read auditing. This will write an audit record for read and stat! (think about all those records created when you do an ls -l!). I have actually turned off the audit daemon and am using it purely for the shadow password file stuff, and that seems to be working ok. alan. -- Alan Hargreaves (VK2MGL) alan@frey.newcastle.edu.au, Uni of Newcastle, UCS.
