tcb files

Charles Keyser — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 15:33:45 GMT

how would I convert the below numbers to a date?
u_pw_expire_warning#3888000

Is there a script or a command that would allow me to see the dates?

My Boss is curious to know this. Told him I would ask the experts

Thanks
CJ

Hi:

The value is in units of seconds. Hence: 3888800/(60*60*24) = 45 days.

How are the units broke down into seconds
More questions will probably follow as he is looking for a simple way to convert it

Thanks again

Hi (again) Charles:

> How are the units broke down into seconds

I think you want to know that 3,888,000 seconds in the future yields:

# perl -le 'print scalar localtime(time+3888000)'
Sun May 30 12:59:38 2010

Shalom,

passwd -sa | grep username

That translates the data into something useful. It reads the /tcb files directly.
