I have written a script to enable the account and disable it after the specified days expire, the issue is that many times the support guys just press enter and the script changes the password for the person logged in and running the script; see example below:
/home/tst> ./enable_rw_acct.sh
Please type the user login for read-write access?
For how long user wants access(in days)?
./enable_rw_acct.sh[23]: test: Specify a parameter with this command.
modprpw: user password file not found: bootpw=NO,umaxlntr=-1,llog=-1,acctexp=
Access Granted to
Changing password for root
Old password:
I do not want this to happen and if they do not enter the username or the number of days then the script should exit with some error message
Below is my existing script whcih needs changing:
echo "Please type the user login for read-write access?"
read USERNAME
loginid=`id $USERNAME`
if [[ $loginid = "" ]]
then
echo
#
echo "Please type the user login for read-write access?"
read USERNAME
loginid=`id $USERNAME`
if [[ $loginid = "" ]]
then
echo
echo "Login $loginid does not exists"
echo
echo "Script exiting . . . . ."
exit 0
fi
echo "For how long user wants access(in days)?"
read LENGTH
if [ $LENGTH -ge 15 ]
then
echo "Read-Write access should not exceed 2 weeks.Try again !!!"
exit
else
/usr/lbin/modprpw -l -m bootpw=NO,umaxlntr=-1,llog=-1,acctexp=$LENGTH $U
SERNAME
echo "Access Granted to $USERNAME"
passwd $USERNAME
sleep 1
passwd -f $USERNAME
fi
/home/tst> ./enable_rw_acct.sh
