Don't know if this will post to the whole list... I seem to remember having problems posting before.

Here's a bunch of stuff form my C2 (Enhanced Security) Tru64 5.1A system.

A 4.0 system is not too different as I recall.

1- Krnel is either "genvmunix"  (not customized) or "vmunix" (configured).

2- I believe the default in 5.x was to configure for a cluster... this means that most all variable files are found in 
	 /cluster/members/{memb}/
	 /cluster/members/member0/

3- the Trusted Computing Base for C2 is 

	/tcb/

	/tcb/files/auth.db  -- for uids less than 100 (default)
	/var/tcb/flies/auth.db  for uids greater than or equal to 100 (default)

	/tcb/bin/edauth

4- the protected password authentication database (man prpasswd)  
entries must exist in both /etc/passwd and /tcb/files/auth.db


5- a typical auth.db entry (as viewed via edauth) [from the man page]

 perry:u_name=perry:u_id#101:\
               :u_pwd=aZXtu1kmSpEzm:\
               :u_minchg#0:u_succhg#653793862:u_unsucchg#622581606:u_nullpw:\
               :u_suclog#671996425:u_suctty=tty1:\
               :u_unsuclog#660768767:u_unsuctty=tty1:\
               :u_maxtries#3:chkent:


  This protected password database entry is for the user perry.  The user ID
  for perry is 101.  This value must match the /etc/passwd entry for this
  user.  The account has a password and its encrypted form is specified by
  the u_pwd field.

  The database entry specifies a minimum password change time of 0, indicat-
  ing that the password can be changed at any time.  Furthermore, the account
  is permitted to have a null password.  The account has a maximum consecu-
  tive unsuccessful login threshold of 3, indicating that the account is
  locked after three failed attempts.  The remaining fields provide account
  information such as the last successful and unsuccessful password change
  times as well as the last successful and unsuccessful login times and ter-
  minal names.


BTW: on a 4/233 to open the case... it slides back about 1/4 inch, then you pivot it upwards from the rear.
The entire top and two sides come off together.
