lastlog has duplicates
Hello,
we are running AIX 4.3.3, has anyone experienced an issue with the lastlog file where there are duplicate entries. ie.
# mkpasswd -c
#mkpasswd -c
/etc/security/lastlog ---> /etc/security/lastlog.idx
3004-779 Duplicate key found. "userazs"
3004-778 Index operation failed. "/etc/security/lastlog.idx"
this issue can temporarily be solved by manually deleteting the duplicates however does anyone know of a fix?
Thanks everyone
Lawrenzo

mkpasswd
MKPASSWD(1) General Commands Manual MKPASSWD(1)
NAME
mkpasswd - generate new password, optionally apply it to a user
SYNOPSIS
mkpasswd [ args ] [ user ]
INTRODUCTION
mkpasswd generates passwords and can apply them automatically to users. mkpasswd is based on the code from Chapter 23 of the O'Reilly book
"Exploring Expect".
USAGE
With no arguments, mkpasswd returns a new password.
mkpasswd
With a user name, mkpasswd assigns a new password to the user.
mkpasswd don
The passwords are randomly generated according to the flags below.
FLAGS
The -l flag defines the length of the password. The default is 9. The following example creates a 20 character password.
mkpasswd -l 20
The -d flag defines the minimum number of digits that must be in the password. The default is 2. The following example creates a password
with at least 3 digits.
mkpasswd -d 3
The -c flag defines the minimum number of lowercase alphabetic characters that must be in the password. The default is 2.
The -C flag defines the minimum number of uppercase alphabetic characters that must be in the password. The default is 2.
The -s flag defines the minimum number of special characters that must be in the password. The default is 1.
The -p flag names a program to set the password. By default, /etc/yppasswd is used if present, otherwise /bin/passwd is used.
The -2 flag causes characters to be chosen so that they alternate between right and left hands (qwerty-style), making it harder for anyone
watching passwords being entered. This can also make it easier for a password-guessing program.
The -v flag causes the password-setting interaction to be visible. By default, it is suppressed.
EXAMPLE
The following example creates a 15-character password that contains at least 3 digits and 5 uppercase characters.
mkpasswd -l 15 -d 3 -C 5
