Hello,

I have noticed for the first time since starting to use Tru64 that the
passwords are actually stored in the /etc/passwd file rather than say a
/etc/shadow or other file.

I have had a look over the system and found that there is a base and
enhanced security mode. When I enabled enhanced security mode I was
unable to login with SSH with either my user account or root account.

What do I need to do to try and enable hashed passwords and where is
some good documentation on the enhanced/vs/base mode security.

Thanks
J
