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
nwbols - List NetWare Bindery Objects SYNOPSIS
nwbols [ -h ] [ -S server ] [ -U user name ] [ -P password | -n ] [ -C ] [ -t type ] [ -o pattern ] [ -v ] DESCRIPTION
nwbols lists the specified NetWare Bindery Objects visible for the user. nwbols looks up the file $HOME/.nwclient to find a file server, a user name and possibly a password. See nwclient(5) for more information. 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, nwbols 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. -t type You can restrict the objects listed by specifying the type of the objects to be listed. type must be given as a decimal number. -o pattern Specifying a pattern is another way to restrict the objects listed. Please note that this pattern is evaluated by the NetWare server. grep would be a better candidate for complex patterns. -v By default, the object's name, its ID and its type are listed by nwbols. In the verbose mode, activated by -v, the object flags, its security byte and the properties flag is also listed. AUTHORS
nwbols was written by Volker Lendecke. See the Changes file of ncpfs for other contributors. nwbols 7/9/1996 NWBOLS(1)
