Hi
I need to create some local users but then 'disable' that user. I know i can enable and disable the user by using usermod -L and -U but does anyone know if there is a way for me to see the current status of the user? ie locked or unlocked?
Can use: passwd -S username
It will give either: username PS 2008-10-28 0 9999 7 -1 (Password set, MD5 Crypt) or when locked: username LK 2008-10-28 0 9999 7 -1 (Password locked)
I'm sure there's other way.
