HP-UX: finding locked users

Here is a script I wrote for finding locked users on HPUX boxes running as trusted systems. I must note that on most systems I admin, I usually put the identifier USER_ACCOUNT in the gecos field. So part of this script grep for that in order to get a list of user accounts. $cat lockout_info #!/usr/bin/sh # Prints account lockout info # NOTE: for use with trusted systems grep USER_ACCOUNT /etc/passwd | awk -F: '{print $1}' | while read account do echo ${account} $(sudo /usr/lbin/getprpw -m lockout ${account} 2>/dev/null) | grep -v "0000000" done This will output a list of users that have any of the lockout fields set. If you read the man page for getprpw, you will see the following list of what the fields mean. 1 past password lifetime 2 past last login time (inactive account) 3 past absolute account lifetime 4 exceeded unsuccessful login attempts 5 password required and a null password 6 admin lock 7 password is a * If you get no output, then there are no locked ac...

3PAR snap scripts for HP-UX and Linux

I have a couple of scripts that I have written to mount snapshots of 3PAR LUNS to other servers. They could be used for backups or cloning. Anyway, if you anyone is interested in the scripts, drop a comment, and I will make them available. UPDATE: Looks like there is interest in the scripts. I am attaching links for the HPUX and Linux scripts. The scripts will need to be modified to your environment. If you need any help with use. or general questions, just let me know. HPUX 3PAR snap script: snapclone 3parinfo needed for the snap script to work Linux 3PAR snap script: snapclone Hopefully these are useful to some of you.

HPUX CIFS CLIENT and Netapp CDOT 8.2

We have been in the process of migrating to CDOT 8.2. We have HP-UX servers that mount cifs share for data exchange between oracle and other systems. Recently during the move of a vfiler we had issues connecting via CIFS to the new vserver. I usally just use the mount command to mount cifs shares instead of using cifsmount with the cifsdb to do the mount. Then users just use cifslogin under the account that needs access to bea able to r/w data to the shares. But when I mount to cdot, it works, but the mount is not accessible. Looking at the mount directory with ll looks something like this: server:user1 mnt> ll total 1 drwx------ 2 root sys 96 Jun 8 2011 apps01_data ?????????? ? root sys ? Apr 29 11:19 int drwxr-x--- 2 root sys 96 Apr 29 08:53 int_nfs drwxr-x--- 2 root sys 96 Mar 13...
