How to find accounts with empty passwords in a trusted HPUX?

Thanks!

[Steven Schweda]

Try to log in as each user, specifying a
null password?

Shalom,

If you have recently converted those accounts will be disabled and do not represent a threat.

A long time after conversion only root would be able to set accounts like that.

Use the command:

logins -p

to find users with no password. This works on Trusted and standard systems. logins is one of those 'sleeper' commands -- lots of nifty features no one knows about. For instance:

logins -d

shows all duplicate UID -- especially important to find UID=0 in more than one login, a big security risk. man logins
