Users that never logged in

uadm26 — Mon, 21 Aug 2006 08:22:10 GMT

Hi,

There's a way to get a user list that never logged in a system (11i), to put in a script used to manage users? Outputs of the commands last and to finger seems not to be the better way.

Thank's for all.

Shalom,

passwd -sa

may work. It does on trusted systems produce a report that includes users that have never been used.

You should if office rules permit make sure those accoutns expire, although that seems to be what you may be moving toward.

Hi Joel,

This script expects that '/etc/password' contains an entry for each user, and 'last' reports the complete login history. It outputs to stdout.

#!/usr/bin/sh

last | cut -d' ' -f1 > /tmp/who.${$}.out.1
cut -d: -f1 /etc/passwd >> tmp/who.${$}.out.1
sort < /tmp/who.${$}.out.1 > /tmp/who.${$}.out.2
uniq -u < /tmp/who.${$}.out.2
rm -f /tmp/who.${$}.out.[1,2]

exit 0
