passwd

Tim O'Connell — Wed, 10 Mar 2004 07:22:05 GMT

There was a command in Unixware - passwd -s username - which returned max,min & ward. Running it on HPUX11 it just returns username PS. Is there a way of getting the passwords attributes for a user. I can do it thru' SAM but am looking for a way to return the attributes.

Thanks,

Tim

Hi Tim,

If you're running in Trusted mode, the command would be getprpw.
Man getprpw for details.

Rgds,
Jeff

And if you're not, that return indicates that you have not implemented password aging.
passwd -s user_name IS supported, but you must implement aging.
