How to activate "passwd -s" to show aging information

[Guus van Luijn]

I'm a non-root user and I need to know when my password will expire in advance.
Therefor I would like to use the command "passwd -s" to show me the date when the password will expire.
On my system the command returns:
$ passwd -s
cvanlui LK
indicating the password is Locked (I use ssh with certificates to logon)
My question: What needs to be done (on a system level I suppose) in order for the "passwd -s command to show me the aging information.

Shalom,

Try,

passwd -sa

by itself my 11.00 machine says passwd -s is deprecated. Not good. -sa should give you what you need.

Hi Steven,

I tried passwd -sa and I get a permission denied. I suppose I have to be root for that.

Hello,

You can get some information from, # man passwd. You have to be root to use -sa option.

Hi,
I guess that one must be privilegded user to execute passwd -Sa. Regular users will not have permission it use it.
