lsuser command 1

[smicro]

Had a question about lsuser. I wanted to get a report of unsuccessful login count and the login retries. I was thinking of using the command
lsuser -a loginretries unsuccessful_login_count ALL | grep unsuccessful_login_count but was curious if there was a way to script this so that it checks if the login count is greater than or equal to the retries and if it is then I would get an e-mail alert?

You could do sth like this (untested):

lsuser -a loginretries unsuccessful_login_count ALL|\
 grep unsuccessful_login_count|\
 tr '=' ' '|\
 while read user junk1 logret junk2 ulcount|\
 do
  if [ ${ulcount} -ge ${logret} ]
  then
   echo "Alert for ${user}"
  fi
 done

HTH,
