just a clarification
Quote:
/etc/passwd is the command interpreter which is
supposed to be run when a user logs in. and i believe that if a wrong password is entered then it is supposed to have /bin/false in the last field.
This isn't quite how it works. The /etc/passwd file isn't a command interpreter, it's just a plain text file in UNIX, although a very important one. The
login command checks the file (and possibly /etc/shadow, or /etc/security/passwd) to verify that the username and password entered are correct. It also looks at the home directory and the shell. If you enter the correct userid & password, it will drop you into your home directory and execute the shell listed in the passwd file. If you enter an incorrect password, /bin/false is not executed, but the program "login" will itself deny access to the system.

Hi,
I am very confused with my printf command.
Somehow one variable can't line up with others...
newstart2 ="Mon Nov 11 01 00:00:00 2002"
printf "%-20s" $newstart2
Here is the output:
Mon Nov 11
01 00:00:00 2002
It spread out to two lines..
