Hello Downsouth,
Could you please check your date's command version by doing date --version as suggestion I gave will be for GNU dates. Also please mention your os details too(you can hide your box name but can provide version details and os name etc).
Thanks,
R. Singh

time_lock_es
time_lock_es(3) Library Functions Manual time_lock_es(3)
NAME
time_lock_es - Check time-of-day locking (Enhanced Security)
LIBRARY
Security Library (libsecurity.so)
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/security.h> #include <prot.h>
int time_lock_es ( struct es_passwd *prpwd );
PARAMETERS
Specifies a protected password entry structure.
DESCRIPTION
The time_lock_es() function performs time-of-day lock checking for the current date and time against the time-of-day specification in the
fd_tod string of the prpwd parameter. The function returns 1 if the time lock is on and 0 if there is no lock.
The fd_tod specification is like that found in the UUCP Systems file. The specification is a comma-separated list of entries. If the cur-
rent time matches an entry in the specification, the time lock is not on. The entries are scanned until a match is found. If no match can
be found, the time lock is on. Each entry appears as follows:
<day><start_time-end_time>
The day is one of the following: Matches any day of the week. Matches Monday through Friday. Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday
Friday Saturday
The times are military time, for example, 9:15 am is 0915, 6:00 pm is 1800, and 12:42 am is 0042. When start_time is less than end_time,
the range of times contains valid times in which to log in that day. When the times are equal or there is only one time (including no time
at all), the entire day is valid. When start_time is later than end_time, times outside the range are valid. For instance, if start_time
is 04:15 and end_time is 02:00, then any time that falls outside the range of 02:00 to 04:15 is a valid time.
NOTES
Programs using this function must be compiled with -lsecurity.
In order to quickstart a program, the program must be linked as follows:
-lsecurity -ldb -laud -lm
See the shared library discussion in the Programmer's Guide for more information about using the quickstarting feature. delim off
