Set Password Account to NP or NL
Hi Everyone, my name`s Sergio.

I need your help please. I have a problem using Solaris 9. I create an account with the command line "useradd", with this I have no problem.

My problem is I need set the created account to NP (No Password or Non Login). For example:

Code:
cat /etc/shadow

UserAccount:NP:14719::::::

in Solaris 10 this is easy because I can use the command passwd -N UserAccount but in my solaris 9, I dont have this flag for passwd and I need to find the way to do that without using a vi editor for /etc/shadow

Anyone knows any command or other way to that?.

Regards.

Sergio.

PS: Sorry if my english is not very good.

Yes, I know, but I'm creating a bash script for a client and I want to avoid editing the shadow file for security reasons. Smilie
