Query user id's whcih are non-expiry

點燃 — Mon, 30 May 2011 08:47:27 GMT

Hi,

I've a couple of questions

1) How can I query the user id's on my system that are non-expiring accounts? It is a hp-ux 11i non-trusted one.

2) The system has only 20 entries in the /etc/passwd feild, however the logins command shows nearly 1200 users. This is an NIS client as well. Are these 1200 users are NIS users? How can I list only local users using logins command?

Thanks in advance for all your quick help!!

You have the answer.

>> This is an NIS client as well.

Since it is NIS client, your local passwd doesn't have any effect. All user login are from your NIS.

Thanks. I knew I've the answer, but my nsswitch.conf says; "passwd compat". Is'nt it mean both local & NIS users can login??

And, my actual questions were, 1)How can I list only local users using logins command?

2) How can I query the user id's on my system that are non-expiring accounts?

Thoughts?

Thanks again.

>1) How can I list only local users using logins command?

You can always operate directly on /etc/password. If the password field doesn't have a ",", the password doesn't expire.
Or logins(1m) says to use: -r local

>2) How can I query the user IDs on my system that are non-expiring accounts?

logins -x, or scan the /etc/passwd file:
awk -F: '$2 !~ /,/ { print "No expiration:", $1}' /etc/passwd
Or for NIS:
ypcat passwd | (above awk)

Thanks Dennis. However the -r local doesn't seems to be existing in 11i

TestHost:/root#logins -r local
Usage: logins [-admopstux] [-g groups] [-l logins]

11i has been retconned to mean any of 11.11 AND on. Next time please be more specific about your OS version and use the "uname -r" value. I was looking at the 11.31 man pages.

In regards to using awk, you may want to ignore all "system" IDs with a "*" in the password field.
