/usr/lbin/GETPRPW Output question

[rmueller58]

When viewing the output of getprpw,

there is a "-1" in the umaxlntr field. this user is complaining they are getting locked out a lot. I have the system value defined to 8 attempts.

She claims to be blowing it at 3. The user has had this problem since I first added her to the system. I think the problem is user error, but I need to rule it out.

What is the best way to determine that in fact the maximum try value is set to 8 as described, and what can I do to determine what this user is doing short of watching over her shoulder when she logs in?

Any thoughts appreciated.

Hi,

in a way I have already faced a similar problem in the following thread:

Check my post about getprpw on umaxlntr and lockout.

I hope this helps you.

Best regards,
