partimaged-passwd(8) Partition Image Server Configuration partimaged-passwd(8)NAME
partimaged-passwd - Manage partimaged user accounts
SYNTAX
partimaged-passwd [-Dhl] username password
partimaged-passwd [-Dhl] username
DESCRIPTION
partimaged can either authenticate against local user accounts (This needs access to /etc/shadow. As this is a potential security risk this
method is not recommended) or its own password database in /etc/partimaged/passwd.db. To simplify the management of the partimaged user
database this tool was written. It allows to easily add and remove users or list the users in the database. All users in this database are
allowed to access the partimaged server.
OPTIONS -D username
Delete the specified user from the password file.
-l List users in password file and exit.
-h Output help information and exit.
FILES
/etc/partimaged/passwd.db

shexp - display password expiration information for a user
Syntax
shexp [-q] [username]
Description
The command is used to display a user's password expiration information. The specified username, or logname if no username is supplied, is
converted to a UID by searching through the passwd file. The UID is then used to look up the user's entry in the Auth Data Base. The
password expiration information is then printed out in format.
% shexp
Expires Tue Dec 6 10:49:18 EST 1988
If the password has already expired the word Expires will be replaced with the word Expired. If password expiration is disabled for the
particular user in question the output of will be Never expires.
Options-q Instead of displaying the expiration date and time in format, outputs it as three decimal numbers: the minimum password lifetime, the
maximum password lifetime, and the password modification time. All three numbers are displayed as they are found in the database.
Restrictions
Only the super-user may obtain information about users with UIDs other than the real UID of the invoking process.
Diagnostics
User not found in passwd data base.
There is no entry in for the specified username.
Cannot stat auth file.
The database is missing (security features may not be enabled).
Insufficient privilege.
An insufficiently privileged user is asking for information about a username with a UID different then their current real-UID.
An exit value of 0 indicates a successful operation, any other exit status indicates an error.
