Displaying Password Information

You can use the passwd command to display password information about all users in a domain or about one particular user:

For your password information

passwd -s

For all users in current domain

passwd -s -a

For a particular user

passwd -s username

Only the entries and columns for which you have read permission will be displayed. Entries are displayed with the following format:

Table 11-4 NIS+ Password Display Format


Field	Description	For Further Information
`username`	The user's login name.
`status`	The user's password status. PS indicates the account has a password. LK indicates the password is locked. NP indicates the account has no password.	See "Locking a Password".
`mm/dd/yy`	The date, based on Greenwich mean time, that the user's password was last changed.
`min`	The minimum number of days since the last change that must pass before the password can be changed again.	See "Setting Minimum Password Life".
`max`	The maximum number of days the password can be used without having to change it.	See "Setting a Password Age Limit".
`warn`	The number of days' notice that users are given before their passwords have to be changed.	See "Establishing a Warning Period".
`expire`	A date on which users loose the ability to log in to their accounts.	See "Password Privilege Expiration".
`inactive`	A limit on the number of days that an account can go without being logged in to. Once that limit is passed without a log in users can no longer access their accounts.	See "Specifying Maximum Number of Inactive Days".

To display entries from a passwd table in another domain, use the -D option:

For all users in another domain

passwd -s -a -D domainname

For a particular user

passwd -s -D domainname username
