Question Unix Id from Window Login ID
Hello All,

My Problem is -> How can we get UNIX id from open mail authentication (Windows ID) in UNIX.

In following command we are using domain name, which may change in your reference.

As, if we use following command.
ypcat passwd | grep rohitp | cut -d: -f5 | cut -d, -f1
=> we get Windows Login ID of rohitp
Rohit Pandey

NOTE : "passwd" is domain name

But if we reverse this
ypcat passwd | grep "Rohit Pandey" | cut -d: -f 1

=> we get multiple UNIX id
flashweb
sramweb
ftmtrn21
nvmioweb
ftmweb
rohitp
ndlfweb
smtweb
wits
tcdweb
nvmpmweb
eclweb
nvmweb
Nvmsiweb


Reason behind multiple UNIX ID is, there may be multiple UNIX ID, whose owner is Rohit Pandey. But there may be specific ID which ownership only to Rohit Pandey. As in above example, ownership of nvmweb ID to multiple user but rohitp only belong to Rohit Pandey


So how i get this rohitp from this list or using other set of command. don't want to use pattern matching kind of command beacuse we don't have any idea about Windows Login Name n UNIX ID .


Regards
Rohit

chsh

chsh(1) 						      General Commands Manual							   chsh(1)

NAME

       chsh - change default login shell

SYNOPSIS

       login-name [shell]

       login-name [shell]

       login-name [shell]

       login-name [shell]

DESCRIPTION

       The command changes the login-shell for a user's login name in the repository (see passwd(1)).

       The  DCE  repository is only available if Integrated Login has been configured; see auth.adm(1M).  If Integrated Login has been configured,
       other considerations apply.  A user with appropriate DCE privileges is capable of modifying a user's shell;  this  is  not  dependent  upon
       superuser privileges.

       If the repository is not specified (as in [login-name]), the login shell is changed in the file only.

       Run after running to make sure the information was processed correctly.

   Notes
       The  command  is  a hard link to the command. When is executed, actually the command gets executed with appropriate arguments to change the
       user login shell in the repository specified in command line. If no repository is specified, the login shell is changed in the file.

   Arguments
	      login-name  A login name of a user.

	      shell	  The absolute path name of a shell.  If the file exists, the new login shell must be listed in that file.  Otherwise, you
			  can specify one of the standard shells listed in the getusershell(3C) manual entry.  If shell is omitted, it defaults to
			  the POSIX shell,

   Options
       The following option is recognized:

	      Specify the repository to which the operation is to be applied.
		     Supported repositories include and

   Security Restrictions
       You must have appropriate privileges to use the optional login-name argument to change another user's login shell.

NETWORKING FEATURES

   NFS
       File can be implemented as a Network Information Service (NIS) database.

EXAMPLES

       To change the login shell for user to the default:

       To change the login shell for user to the C shell:

       To change the login shell for user to the Korn shell in the DCE registry:

WARNINGS

       If two or more users try to write the file at the same time, a passwd locking mechanism was devised.  If this locking  fails  after  subse-
       quent retrying, terminates.

AUTHOR

       was developed by HP and the University of California, Berkeley.
