Operating Systems HP-UX How to check password expiration date of particular user? Post 302935038 by rbatte1 on Thursday 12th of February 2015 12:26:30 PM

My HP-UX is 11.11 Smilie and stores files in /tcb/files/auth with the various details you are after. The values are stored in seconds since the Epoch (00:00:00 on 1/1/1970)

The problem you will have is that without superuser access, you are not considered trustworthy enough to know this information.

One wonders why you need to know anyway. Can you enlighten us?



Regards,
Robin

       Encrypted Password

       Minimum Password Lifetime
		      This is the minimum number of seconds which must elapse between setting passwords.

       Maximum Password Lifetime
		      This is the maximum period of time for which the password will be valid.

			 1 A_ENABLE: this account is enabled.
			 2 A_CHANGE_PASSWORD: The user can change his or her password.
			 4 A_ENTER_PASSWORD: The user is not required to use machine-generated passwords.

       Login Failure Count
		      This is the count of unsuccessful login attempts since the last successful login.
