If the system is trusted:

# passwd -s username

or

# /usr/lbin/getprpw -m spwchng username

If the system is not trusted:

# passwd -s username

patrik:
I am not sure if sandeep is asking the information you have given.
passwd -s <>
would show only status
PS =passworded;
LK =locked; and
NP =no password.

What he want is to see when last passwd was changed.
I am not sure about this,other than see when passwd file was modified.

Please let me know if there is smthing like this.
BR,
Kapil

Did you try the command or read the man page for the '-s' option to passwd?

# passwd -s user
user PS 10/31/07 7 90 14

The above output means:
user=user
PS=status (check the man page for possible values)
10/31/07 = date password last changed
7=minimum password age
90=max password age
14=# of days to warn before password expires

what kapil jha is telling is right but i wont get the last passwd changed when i use passwd -s username command.

Patris is right Kapil....

but why this happned?

# passwd secroot
Changing password for secroot
New password:
Re-enter new password:
Passwd successfully changed (Today)
# passwd -s secroot
secroot PS 12/13/07 77 77 (Yesterday)
# date
Fri Dec 14 14:16:07 IST 2007
-----------

$ passwd -s secroot
secroot PS 12/13/07 77 77
$ id
uid=110(secroot) gid=20(users)

Hey output i was getting on my system is
# passwd -s user
user PS
I saw I had not activated password aging , and that is why this output.
U are absolutely right Patrick.
Sorry!!!!

A quick-ugly script that will get you the date the password was last changed for all usders on the system. It's formatted like it is because I combine the output with some other scripts that return the last-login-date and deactivated-reason.

is very easy, with perl's script you obtain the last passwd change.

cat /tcb/files/auth/u/user

this parameter:
u_succhg#1196271850

and the command line with perl

perl -e 'print localtime(1196271850)."\n"'
