Compatibility
The known compatibility issues in the 11i v3 release are as follows:
• The /etc/sam/rmuser.excl and /etc/sam/rmfiles.excl files are not supported.
These files were used previously by the HP SAM application to list users and directories that
were to be excluded from removal.
• UID and passwds are passed as empty strings to task customization scripts.
• Currently, you cannot use the Accounts for Users and Groups (ugweb) tool to add/modify
passwords of NIS users when the system is configured for alternate password files in NIS +
Shadow mode. You can use appropriate commands to manipulate the passwords of NIS
users.
• Templates created using the legacy SAM application will not work with the Accounts for Users
and Groups tool.
Performance
There are no known performance issues.
