Hello
I should have said I 'restored' not 'copied' the files. As usual I had
a number of great tips. All of the necessary files seemed to exist so I
restored them again and things worked. My original question is below.
Michael Bucholtz sent this consize list to check against.
        /etc passwd (and passwd.pag and passwd.dir)
        /etc/group
        /tcb/files/auth.db
        /var/tcb/files/auth.db
        /etc/auth/system

Spider Boardman suggested the tcb and auth files as well.
Chris.Byrant and Anne Majeske sent these copy commands:
It sounds like you are running enhanced security.
On the source machine: # edauth -g > auth.out
On the target machine: # edauth -s < auth.out
Dustin Marquess sent: usermod -x administrative_lock_applied=0

ALPHASERVER ES40

I have upgraded our hardware to a new ES40. I installed the O/S and
then copied over the /etc/passwd, /tcb/files directories. The problem
is all the users came across with an locked account. Is there some
method, or am I missing a file, that can restore only the 'unlocked'
status to the appropriate users?

Thanks you
