User id creation time

[sraj142]

Hi All,
I am having approx. 3200 users added in the server. Can anybody help to grep those user id's which I have created between 01-03-08 to 15-05-08 ?

You may want to check the /etc/security/passwd file. It contains the encrypted password and the last update. Perhpas that update field will help you. The format of the date is the number of seconds passed since Jan. 1, 1970. It would be easiest puting this into a script. Let me know if you'd like help with that.

Good Luck!

Hi Dan,

The last update feild in the /etc/security/passwd file will change once the user changes his/her password! So unless sraj prevent users from changing their passwords, he won't be able to rely on this feild!

Hi Dan,
I have already prevented users from password change. So it would be nice to get the script? Please help...

Sraj - think carefully about not allowing your users to change their password. I would day from a security angle that'sa big no-no.

I want to be good, is that not enough?

I agree with KenCunningham in this!

+ it is a headache for your to change their passwords upon their request and then you will go back to square one as the last update field will be changed once you change the password yourself!
