The AIX servers that I am working on have been identified as having orphaned user ids & improper gecos for some user ids. Can someone help me with a script to delete the user ids if the orphaned ids are provided in a text file. The home directory set up for the user ids happen to be the application folder and hence that should not be deleted.
First, add a soft link from /bin/false to /usr/bin/nologin
Next, have a list of user-names in a text file, one name per line. Then prepare the following script:
Now, it's possible that you will have to add the nologin pseudo-shell to the list of shells that are valid. If it fails for every user, then you'll need to figure out how to add it to the list. The AIX manual says:
Quote:
Valid shells are defined in the usw stanza of the /etc/security/login.cfg file.
You can also instead do this, a very AIX-specific method:
Note, I have not tested this as I don't have access to an AIX host.
I wish to pull out a list of all user ids on the system, including the privileged ids, the groups to which they belong to. Sometimes after deleting an id also, its home dir does not get deleted or an entry is left behind in /etc/passwd.
Can someone help me with a script to achieve both. (2 Replies)
