Data modify users by one command
Hi all,

we are running an hp-ux sd32 server with hp-ux 11.11 and i have to modify 130 users on the system, so that they are inactive. We have not installed the security package, so i cannot use usermod -e 2/24/04 qsc0017. Is there anyone who knows one command which i can use to change the user to deactiv status?

Best regards, Frank

Thanks, but i found it:

for i in `cat usernames_ascii_file`
do
passwd -l $i
done.
