Replace and retain entries.
Replace and retain entries.
I have a certain users that will replaced a certain values, but if it has already a value it will retain its values.
Thanks



Data to be placed:
account_locked = false
loginretries = 0
pwdwarntime = 0
histsize = 0
minalpha = 0
minother = 0
minlen = 0
maxage = 0
minage = 0

SAMPLE:
cat /etc/security/user
Original:
oracle9i:
SYSTEM = "NONE"
admin = false
histsize = 0
minalpha = 0
minlen = 1

Output:
oracle9i:
SYSTEM = "NONE"
admin = false
histsize = 0
minalpha = 0
minlen = 0
account_locked = false
loginretries = 0
pwdwarntime = 0
maxage = 0
minage = 0
minother = 0

This looks like AIX. You really should *NOT* edit this file directly. use the chuser command.

so desu ka,...
well i already edited manually... so for example if the data has already the default values, it will not change,but if the data is diffrent it should have changed. or if the data is missing it should place the correct data.
