Shadow File

Angela L. Shepherd — Fri, 21 Sep 2001 13:10:47 GMT

I listed a name under my /tcb/files/auth directory.

more XXXXXXX
XXXXXXX:u_name=XXXXXXX:u_id#101: :u_pwd=1V9q46bQKwgS.: :u_auditid#12: :u_auditflag#1: :u_minchg#1209600:u_exp#7776000:u_succhg#996498072:u_llogin#10368000: :u_pw_expire_warning#1728000:u_suclog#1000993855:u_suctty=pts/tg:u_unsuc
log#1000737698: :u_unsuctty=pts/tg:u_lock@:chkent:

Can someone help me interpret the following from my file:

:u_auditid#12: :u_auditflag#1: :u_succhg#996498072
:u_llogin#10368000: :u_suclog#1000993855
:u_suctty=pts/tg
:u_unsuc log#1000737698: :u_unsuctty=pts/tg:u_lock@:chkent:

Hi Angela,

May not be able to help much, but let me try,

:u_auditid#--> User ID
:u_auditflag#1:
:u_succhg#
:u_llogin#Last login
:u_suclog#---> Last successful log time
:u_suctty -----> Last successful login from tty
:u_unsuc log#--> Last un successful log time :u_unsuctty=Last un successful login from tty
u_lock@:chkent:

The entry is refelected in readable format when the user logs in. After login, the system should be displaying the different parameters, like last login from this terminal, last succesfule login at this time, last unsuccesful login at this time and things like that.

Hope this helps.

thanks
