Alternative for /usr/sbin/userdbset on Linux

Hello.

I am currently on HPUX and migrating to Linux RHEL 6.4

This program on hpux:

/usr/sbin/userdbset

is puzzling me on linux.

Does anyone know the equivilent program forked or used on linux.

This program is mentioned in our user reset script.

here is a strings of the userdbset for some clues.

thanks!

Code:
# strings /usr/sbin/userdbset|more

I don't think you'll find an exact equivalent, but the group, passwd, and usermod commands may be of use to you.

got it thanks

I found my answer.

modify /etc/pam.d/system-auth, and password-auth on RHEL 6.4

add a few entries.

The command equiv is:
Code:
pam_tally2 --user username_here --reset

This effectively changes the lockout and user is allowed to log in. The key though is the modifications to system-auth and password-auth, adding the appropriate entries for pam_tally2.so to be called on.

account required pam_tally2.so
and a few others for other things i needed this time around.

thanks for you responses.
OA
