Homework and Emergencies Emergency UNIX and Linux Support Accidentally Changed File Ownership to Include a "Comment" [AIX] Post 302711091 by in2nix4life on Friday 5th of October 2012 11:24:22 AM

Just a tip. When I disable accounts on AIX, the following works:

Code:
chuser account_lock=true <user>

to verify:
lsusuer -a account_locked <user>
<user> account_locked=true

to remove lock:
chuser account_lock=false

Toss into a loop if tons of user accounts and you're good to go.

NAME
lppasswd - add, change, or delete digest passwords. SYNOPSIS
lppasswd [ username ] lppasswd -a [ -g groupname ] username lppasswd -x username DESCRIPTION
lppasswd adds, changes, or deletes passwords in the CUPS digest password file, passwd.md5. When run by a normal user, lppasswd will prompt for the old and new passwords. When run by the super-user, lppasswd can add new accounts (-a username), change existing accounts (user- name), or delete accounts (-x username) in the digest password file. Digest usernames do not have to match local UNIX usernames. OPTIONS
lppasswd supports the following options: -g groupname Specifies a group other than the default system group. SECURITY ISSUES
By default, the lppasswd program is not installed to allow ordinary users to change their passwords. To enable this, the lppasswd command must be made setuid to root with the command: chmod u+s lppasswd While every attempt has been made to make lppasswd secure against exploits that could grant super-user privileges to unprivileged users, paranoid system administrators may wish to use Basic authentication with accounts managed by PAM instead.
