- 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.
