Saurabh Gupta — Tue, 14 Sep 2004 05:27:28 GMT

Hi all
How could I check/display the password attributes : MaxAge, MinAge, WarnAge on an HP-UX 11.0 box. this system is non-trusted and configured as NIS, so no shadow file and tcb/files/auth...
Please help

Thanks in advance
Saurabh

logins -x -l

Execute passwd -s so that you will get information of the user as,
name status mm/dd/yy min max warn

This format specially for non-trusted mode with nisplus respository and with no user restriction's.

Or you can use logins command there as,
logins -a -l

And more, you can use sam too to get the correspoding user informations there.

"passwd -s -a" does provide this information in an easier to read format, but it will only gives this information for users included in the local /etc/passwd file, or if your running NIS+. So, this command is only useful if it can be run on the NIS master, and if only the /etc/passwd file is used. The logins command will work from any of the NIS clients.

Hi,

What is the date returned from the passwd -s or the logins -x -l commands, i assumed it is expiration date but man page does n't explain.

Thanks,

It is clear: date of last change

passwd(1m): Here it isn't clear:

name status mm/dd/yy min max warn

Most likely the same "date of last change".
