Dorman accounts

[sabre]

What is a good way to identify "dormant" accounts? I.E., this account was last logged in 2 months ago?

Also, what would be the easiest way to identify locked accounts?

Thanks, John.

Something like this small scripting

#!/bin/sh

#
# A small script to list a users last login
# it will list every user in the /home directory with
# last login exceeding one month
#

for d in `ls /home/` ; do
  LOGIN=`last $d | head -n 1 | grep -v "still logged in" \
                 | awk '{print $3 " " $ 4 " " $5}'`
  if [ "$LOGIN"x != x ]; then
    case $LOGIN in
       "  ")
         ;;
       *)
         # we're dealing with a valid user who isnt online at the moment
         # calculate how many month it's been since last login
         OLD_DATE=`date -d "$LOGIN" +%Y%m%d`
         NEW_DATE=`date +%Y%m%d`
         DIFF=`echo "$NEW_DATE-$OLD_DATE"| bc`
         if [ $DIFF -ge 100 ]; then
           # display users with more than 1 month stale login
           MONTH=`echo "$DIFF/100" | bc`
           DAYS=`echo "$DIFF%100" | bc`
           echo -n "User $d was last logged in $MONTH month"
           if [ $DAYS -ge 1 ]; then
             echo -n " and $DAYS day"
             if [ $DAYS -ge 2 ]; then
               echo -n "s"
             fi
           fi
           echo " ago"
         fi
         ;;
    esac
  fi
done

Thanks Redhead. I'm a linux newbie. When I run the script, I get:

[c108596@McPbsAM c108596]$ ./dormant
: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

And as you can see, I do know how to spell dormant - couldn't tell it from the thread title though :-)

John.

You need to make the file you saved the script as executable ie:
> chmod +x dormant

[sabre]

I called myself already doing it:

[c108596@McPbsAM c108596]$ ls -lah dormant
-rwxrwxrwx 1 c108596 c108596 1.1K Sep 27 13:33 dormant
[c108596@McPbsAM c108596]$

Still the same symptoms.

Thats odd... On my system it seems to work fine:

redhead@fenris{57} ~/Programming/Scripts> ./dormant.sh
User redhead was last logged in 1 month and 2 days ago
redhead@fenris{58} ~/Programming/Scripts> last redhead | head -n 1
redhead :0 Sun Sep 1 00:56:36 2006
redhead@fenris{58} ~/Programming/Scripts>

Afer a bit of searching on google... Actualy the first (or second) hit, it is discussed as a possible problem with the <cr> vs. <cr/lf>
It is suggested, that you see if the first line of the script is truely ending with a <cr>, to quote the post:

Depending on the vi clone you are using, the carriage return may or may not be displayed. To be sure, run:

head -1 scriptFile.sh | od -c | head -1

and check if the output looks like

0000000 # ! / b i n / s h \n
