Shalom,

make a list in a file called list

while read -r username
do
passwd -l $username
echo "Username:$username has been locked."
done < list

Must be run by root or with root priviledges.

Hi,

Add users to be locked to userlist and then run this on each server:

#!/usr/bin/sh

for user in $(cat userlist)
do
passwd -l ${user}
done

passwd -sa

exit
