Hi:

Have a look at 'logins'. See the manpages for 'logins(1M)' for more information.

Hi,

You can just get the last modified date of '/etc/passwd' file doing 'ls -al /etc/passwd'.

I think you can't get the date for each user account.

Have a nice day...^__^

In addition,
#last useraccount | head -1
The above command displays the last login information of the user.
#lastb useraccount | head -1
It displays ths last failed login information of the user.

We can guess the date that the account that has been locked.

Hi James,

I try logins -x -l but why the password status still PS for valid password. I already locked the user account. It shld be LK for locked based on man logins under -x portion.

-x Display extended information about selected users. This extended
information includes home directory, login shell and password
aging data, each on its own line. Password information consists
of password status (PS for valid password, LK for locked and NP
for no password) and, if a password is present, date of last
change, required number of days between changes, and number of
days allowed between changes. In the case of non-trusted
systems, the date of last change will be the latest Thursday
since the change.

Any ideas?

regards.

If you are using a trusted system you might want to look at the man pages for getprpw and modprpw. Although getprpw does not seem to have a field for date for lockout time, it does should you a good deal of other information about the login.
