Tru64 User administration

Hey guys how do you check if an account is locked in tru64, and how do you unlock it?

Assuming you are on Tru64 UNIX V5.?, to check user status
Code:
passwd -q username

The second field outputted is the status field i.e. "PS" if user has a password, "LK" if user has an administrative lock, or "NP" if user has no password.

To unlock user account
Code:
/usr/sbin/usermod  -x administrative_lock_applied=0 username

Alternatively you use either the two system management GUIs - sysman accounts or dxaccounts to check user status and lock/unlock users.
