root passwd change file

[KINGSLEY_1]

Dear Sirs,

Kindly show me the file that has the number of times one has changed the root password in HP-UX 11.23

Thank you.

There is no file that I know of that shows this.

Shalom,

Trusted system:
/usr/lbin/getprpw -m spwchg root


last -R -100 root


If the system is not trusted, its a little bit harder.

To convert to trusted:
http://h30499.www3.hp.com/t5/System-Administration/Enable-Trusted-Mode-HP-UX/m-p/3264050#M177463

Not a great idea as trusted system is obsolete and 11.31 is the last version of the OS that will support trusted.

>>/usr/lbin/getprpw -m spwchg root

This will show WHEN the password was last changed, not the number of times it has been changed.

>>last -R -100 root

This will show when root has logged into the system.
