Operating Systems AIX How to check password expiry in AIX? Post 302252801 by shockneck on Thursday 30th of October 2008 10:35:47 AM

You need to be root to do this but there is no single command available. From the /etc/security/passwd you get the information when the password for a particular user was set ("lastupdate"). You'd then check the user's attributes to find the intervall for a forced password change. With those two values and the current date you can calculate when the current password will be expired. Thus a script would probably be written around the following commands:

Code:
[server:root] /etc/security > grep -p shockneck passwd
shockneck:
        password = GaKaqDbvE3Q.s
        lastupdate = 1223451491
        flags =

[server:root] /etc/security > perl -le 'print scalar localtime 1223451491'

[server:root] /etc/security >  lsuser -a maxage shockneck
shockneck maxage=13
[server:root] /etc/security >  date
Thu Oct 30 15:26:32 MEZ 2008
[server:root] /etc/security >

Search the script forum to find how to convert a date into seconds from epoch for easy comparison. You might even find several complete scripts there for accomplishing your aim.

NAME
nwboprops - List properies of a NetWare Bindery Object SYNOPSIS
nwboprops [ -h ] [ -S server ] [ -U user name ] [ -P password | -n ] [ -C ] [ -o object name ] [ -t type ] [ -v ] DESCRIPTION
nwboprops lists all the properties of the specified NetWare Bindery Objects. nwboprops looks up the file $HOME/.nwclient to find a file server, a user name and possibly a password. See nwclient(5) for more informa- tion. Please note that the access permissions of $HOME/.nwclient MUST be 600 for security reasons. OPTIONS
-h -h is used to print out a short help text. -S server server is the name of the server you want to use. -U user user is the user name to use for login. -P password password is the password to use for login. If neither -n nor -P are given, and the user has no open connection to the server, nwboprops prompts for a password. -n -n should be given if no password is required for the login. -C By default, passwords are converted to uppercase before they are sent to the server, because most servers require this. You can turn off this conversion by -C. -o object name The name of the object to be inspected. -t object type The type of the object. Object type must be specified as a decimal value. Common values are 1 for user objects, 2 for group objects and 3 for print queues. Other values are allowed, but are usually used for specialized applications. -v By default, only the property name is listed. In verbose mode, activated by -v, the property flag, the property security byte and the value flag are also listed. AUTHORS
nwboprops was written by Volker Lendecke with the corresponding Caldera utility in mind. See the Changes file of ncpfs for other contribu- tors. nwboprops 7/9/1996 NWBOPROPS(1)
