how do I know the history log of user change password ?

[hangyu]

what time the user have changed the password ? (the change password date)

[Alexander Chuzhoy · Accepted solution]

In /etc/shadow third field is: "Days since Jan 1, 1970 that password was last changed".

Shalom,

read USERNAME

grep $USERNAME /etc/shadow | awk -F: '{print $1 $3}'


This will ask for a user name and display the user name and days since reset as noted in the prior post.

Use http://hpux.ws/caljd.sh If you'd like to process that information into a more normal output.
