Need help in scripting.

Amruth — Wed, 22 Dec 2004 13:12:13 GMT

Hello all,

I have been assigned a job to send a report to every users "When their password will expire".

We only have trusted systems and i have created a list of server in a file called hpserverlist.

I am not good at scripting but knows little bit.

My intention is to create an output in a file with the following:

SERVER NAME : USER NAME : DATE of Expiration.

i am also on the job, but if anybody is quicker than me ...i will really appreciate it.

THanks,
am

See the man page for getprpw. The combination of options you'll want is probably going to be these:

/usr/lbin/getprpw -m exptm,lftm,expwarn,mintm,acctexp

the second value, lftm, is the password lifetime in number of days since last change. If you get the date from the ls -l listing for /tcb/files/auth/[letter]/[loginID]

where [letter] is the first letter of the LoginID and [LoginID] is the ID you want to query, that will get you where you want to go. The actually expiration date and time are stored in that file (the number after "u_suclog#"), but it's in internal format and you'd have to resort to a C library call to get it converted, I think.
