Disabled/Locked users
How can I check the disabled/locked users in HP-UX? It's possible to know that without root privileges?

Thanks.

No AFAIK. The best command (according to me) to check the status of various users (locked/passworded/NP/etc) is 'logins -o -x' and you can run that only as root.

If you don't have shadow installed, a regular user could check for a "*" value after there userID in /etc/passwd

userID:*,7/NS:197:20:USER NAME:/home/userID:/usr/bin/ksh

shadow moves everything into /etc/shadow...which requires root to view.
