Hi shoux,
files /etc/security/passwd and /etc/security/opasswd contain information about last password updating. File var/adm/sulog contains history of issue passwd command.

Hello Shoux,
if you have C compiler the program below helps you
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>
void main(int args, char *args[])
{
time_t cl = 0;
char *tt;
cl = atol(args[1]);
tt = ctime(&cl);
printf(&quot;\n%s&quot;, tt);
}

for example it name ConvTime.c

compile it:
$ cc -o ConvTime ConvTime.c

in your example:
$ ConvTime 1038878091
Tue Dec 3 04:14:51 2002

Regards Boris

If you don't have a C compiler you can do it via perl.
ie, set up an alias in your .profile:
alias ConvTime=&quot;perl -le 'print scalar localtime(shift);'&quot;

logout, then back on again and:
$ ConvTime 1038878091
Tue Dec 3 02:14:51 2002

Hi boris & Recheal
FYI, my system doesn't have C and Pearl compiler. Are there any AIX commands to convert the date? If it is virtuous, I might use the program in my daily routine job. Anyway thanks for your help to get users1 date.

shoux - what version of AIX is this? AFAIK perl has been shipped on the base o/s disks since 4.3.3.

Remember that this time stamp is the number of seconds from the birth of unix ~ Jan 1 1970. So if you can do the math and get close.
