pwage-hpux-T for Trusted HPUX servers
I'm sharing this in case anybody needs it. Modified from the original solaris pwage script. This modified hpux script will check /etc/password file on hpux trusted systems search /tcb and grep the required u_succhg field. Calculate days to expiry and notify users via email.
original solaris pwage script:
https://www.unix.com/shell-programmin...sword-age.html
for the hpux script you need to modify following
/etc/passwd file needs to have a "+email@domain.com" in the description field. You can use '+' or any other symbol but not sure if you can use another ':'
aixguy:*:114:106:aix administrator
+aixguy@unix.com:/home/aixguy:/usr/bin/sh
hpuxguy:*:103:106:hpux admin
+hpuxguy@unix.com:/home/hpuxguy:/usr/bin/sh
sparcguy:*:112:106:solaris administrator
+sparcguy@unix.com:/home/sparcguy:/usr/bin/ksh
MAXAGE=90 <-- we use 90 day expiry policy modify for yours.

#! /bin/sh
for i in `cat /etc/passwd | grep \@ | sed 's/:/+/g' | cut -d+ -f1`

for j in `find /tcb -name $i -exec ls -1 {} \;`
do
LASTPWCHG=`cat $j | grep u_succhg | sed 's/:/#/g' | cut -d# -f3`
DAYSEC=`echo "60*60*24" | bc`
DAWNOFTIME=`/usr/contrib/bin/perl -e 'print int(time)'`
SECSAGO=`echo "$DAWNOFTIME - $LASTPWCHG" | bc`
DAYSAGO=`echo $SECSAGO/$DAYSEC | bc`
done
MAXAGE=90
LEFTDAYS=`echo "$MAXAGE - $DAYSAGO" | bc`
if [[ "$LEFTDAYS" = 7 ]]
then
EMAILID=`cat /etc/passwd | grep $i | sed 's/:/+/g' | cut -d+ -f6`
echo "Your unix id $i will expire in $LEFTDAYS days" | mailx -s "`uname -n` Password aging Reminder" $EMAILID
fi
if [[ "$LEFTDAYS" = 3 ]]
then
EMAILID=`cat /etc/passwd | grep $i | sed 's/:/+/g' | cut -d+ -f6`
echo "Your unix id $i will expire in $LEFTDAYS days" | mailx -s "`uname -n` Password aging Reminder" $EMAILID
fi
if [[ "$LEFTDAYS" -lt 0 ]]
then
EMAILID=`cat /etc/passwd | grep $i | sed 's/:/+/g' | cut -d+ -f6`
echo "Please note that your unix id $i has aleaady expired" | mailx -s "`uname -n` Password aging Reminder" $EMAILID
fi
done
If you want to test modify MAXAGE=0 or 10
do not run against un-trusted hpux boxes

NEWLIST(8) System Manager's Manual NEWLIST(8)
NAME
newlist - Create a new, unpopulated Mailman mailing list.
SYNOPSIS
newlist [options] [listname] [listadmin-addr] [admin-password]
OPTIONS
-l language, --language=language
Make the list's preferred language `language', which must be the (mostly two letter) language code as found under /usr/share/mail-
man.
-u urlhost, --urlhost=urlhost
Gives the list's web interface host name.
-e emailhost, --emailhost=emailhost
Gives the list's email domain name.
-q, --quiet
Normally the administrator is notified by email (after a prompt) that their list has been created. This option suppresses that
notification and the prompting.
-h, --help
Print a small help text and exit
SECURITY
Including the admin-password on the command line is a small security risk if you have untrusted users on the system.
NOTES
You can specify as many of the arguments as you want on the command line: you will be prompted for the missing ones.
Every Mailman list has two parameters which define the default host name for outgoing email, and the default URL for all web interfaces.
When you configured Mailman, certain defaults were calculated, but if you are running multiple virtual Mailman sites, then the defaults may
not be appropriate for the list you are creating.
You also specify the domain to create your new list in by typing the command like so:
newlist --urlhost=www.example.com mylist
where `www.example.com' should be the base hostname for the URL to this virtual hosts's lists. E.g. with this setting people will view the
general list overviews at http://www.example.com/mailman/listinfo. Also, www.example.com should be a key in the VIRTUAL_HOSTS mapping in
mm_cfg.py/Defaults.py if the email hostname to be automatically determined.
If you want the email hostname to be different from the one looked up by the VIRTUAL_HOSTS or if urlhost is not registered in VIR-
TUAL_HOSTS, you can specify `emailhost' like so:
newlist --urlhost=www.example.com --emailhost=example.com mylist
where `example.com' is the mail domain name. If you don't specify emailhost but urlhost is not in the virtual host list, then
mm_cfg.DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST will be used for the email interface.
For backward compatibility, you can also specify the domain to create your new list in by spelling the listname like so:
mylist@www.example.com
where www.example.com is used for `urlhost' but it will also be used for `emailhost' if it is not found in the virtual host table. Note
`--urlhost' and `--emailhost' have precedence to this notation.
If you spell the list name as just `mylist', then the email hostname will be taken from DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST and the url will be taken from
DEFAULT_URL (as defined in your Defaults.py file or overridden by settings in mm_cfg.py).
Note that listnames are forced to lowercase.
The list admin address need to be a fully-qualified address, like owner@example.com, not just owner.
