the cmd to chk file permissions for all the users

[M.P.Chandrasekar]

Hi,
1. whats The command to check the total number of users in HP-UX 11IV1, i got the users in etc/passwd, is there any other way to chkeck the list of users?
2.whats the command to check the file permission for the list of users in HP-UX 11IV1?

Hm - If I understand correctly:

Numbers of users:
cat /etc/passwd |wc -l

The second one is a bit weird - but to get filepermissions for all users:

for i in `cat /etc/passwd | awk -F ':' {'print $1'}
do
find / -user $i -exec ls -l \+
done

This will find ALL files owned by each user in /etc/passwd - and list the files with its permssions.

I might have misunderstood the last question, but maybe you can reuse the cmd's to your fit your needs.

# logins -m

...will list users and all of the groups to which they belong. As always, consult the manpages [logins(1M)] for more information.

Shalom,

logins -m seems to show the user id and primary group of each user.

For more complete information, consider these options:

-d Display logins with duplicate UIDs.

-m Show multiple group membership data.

-o Display with alternate format of one line of colon separated
fields.

-p Display logins with no passwords

-s Display all system logins

-t Sort output by login rather than UID.

-u Display all user logins.

-x Display extended information about selected users. This extended information includes home directory, login shell and password aging data, each on its own line. Password information consists
Standard input

Group number information can be obtained in a more compact fashion with the id command


id username

both id and logins data are useful for writing management scripts.

hi
thanks, i got what i expected from yours.

[James R. Ferguson]

HI (again):

For an individual user login, 'id' is useful, indeed. To me, "list of users" [your original words] implies just that: a list; hence my suggestion that you look at 'logins()'. I assume that you found some value to my response although you didn't indicate so.

Hi:

Oh, and another thing:

> SEP: logins -m seems to show the user id and primary group of each user.

No, there is no "seems" about it. Look at the output for 'root' on any server. *All* of the groups to which 'root' belongs are listed.

@ M.P. Not liking an answer is hardly an excuse for not evaluating it. We old-timers see a high correlation between the number of points assigned to an answer and how well the OP wants to hear it.
