UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users

Dear friends,

Can anyone let me know how to configure various OS mentioned below to get user ids deactivated automatically if not logged in at all for a period of, say, 45 days? 1. UNIX / Linux / AIX / Tru64 2.

It is OK whether the solution is by running OS commands / running scripts written for the purpose or using a external tool.

On HP-UX
You can convert the system to trusted and then set the time out values for different events like;
passwd aging
passwd reminder to change
etc

best way for you may be to use SAM to convert to this security level on a test box and see how you go.
Also use SAm to set your passwd aging defaults.

(Note: theres a little trap I fell into. after you change the system wide defaults any new user added to the system will have the new defaults, but all the old users will still have the previous settings. you will need to go and manually change the old users. This can be done from the command line or via SAM)


Not sure on other O/S listed...
