a test for an expired pw on account?

[Stuart Browne]

As you've not said what system you're wanting to check account expirations on, it makes it a bit hard to give decent advice.

On a Linux box, about the closest I can think of is to run 'passwd -S <user>' on every user on a box.  This specific command only works for local accounts however.  If in an ldap environment, then you could use ldapsearch to return each account and their expiry date (with a little creative math and knowing the policies).  A similar method might be usable for an AD environment.

More details, better answers.  Give it a shot :)

Hi,

Does anyone know if this exists - a way to test if an account has an expired password?  have an account that requires the PW to be reset periodically, and need to know a week before it is about to expire so it can be reset before jobs fail..

thanks
