How to set login time restriction in HPUX

[Lai Siew Yuen]

Hi,
I would like to know if I can set the login time restriction in HPUX? How do I do it if it is possible?
Appreciate for your kind advice. Many thanks in advance.

Hi Siew Yuen

Go to SAM->Accounts for Users and Groups -> Users
select the user u wish to restrict (use space key)
select action->Set Authorized Login Times...
(use tab key to move to action)
and u can select the login time for that user.

Hope this help

This can be done on a trusted system via the /usr/lbin/modprpw command.

For example, to allow user "mickey" to login only between the hours of 0800-1700 Mon-Fri and only between 1000-1030 on Saturdays then:

/usr/lbin/modprpw -m timeof=Wk0800-1700,Sa1000-1030 mickey.

Man modprpw, prpwd for details.

SAM is for wimps.

Oops, I'm stupid.

/usr/lbin/modprpw -m timeof=Wk0800-1700,Sa1000-1030 mickey

should be:
/usr/lbin/modprpw -m timeod=Wk0800-1700,Sa1000-1030 mickey.
