setting password non expiry by command line on a untrusted system

[HejALL]

I have some 30 users whose password has to be set non expiry for 90 HPUX boxes. I dont find any solution to so it in command line so that I can use that on script. Can anyone help me on this?

[Steven E. Protter]

shalom,

cat /etc/passwd | awk -F: '{print $1}' > userlist

edit the user list to include only the 30 that need a change.

while read -r un
do

done < userlist

This is not something HP wants you to be able to easily do, so you might be better off doing it manually with sam.

Side Note: Doing this will insure you fail your next security audit. Having user passwords expire is a basic point for system security. If you are subject to US SOX laws this action violates them as well.

Hi!!

Here is the solution for Untrusted system:

cat /etc/passwd |cut -d : -f 1 > /temp/user.file
vi user.file to set required 30 users and then run

for user in `cat /temp/user.file`
do
passwd -f -n 90 $user
done

This will solve your query!!

Cheers!!
