Similar cmd on Linux...

[Database Administrator]

Hi

Do any of your guys know a similar command or combination of commands,
that would give me an output like the AIX-commands usrck and pwdck on
Linux?

On AIX usrck –n ALL gives me:

The user name XXXXXXX appears in /etc/security/passwd but not in /etc/
passwd.
User daemon is locked.
The account for user sys has expired.
User lp has a non-existent or inaccessible home directory /var/spool/
lp.

etc.

Thanks in advance

Claus.

To check consistency (or issues you can use these commands):
pwck - checks /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow for consistency
grpck - checks /etc/group and /etc/gshadow for consistency

I think the above gives you all this info, but if not here's a way to
find some more info...
passwd -S username
