CHAGE

OPTIONEN

The options which apply to the chage command are:

-d, --lastday LAST_DAY

Legt die Anzahl der Tage, gerechnet ab dem 1. Januar 1970, fest, seit denen das Passwort das letzte Mal gewechselt wurde. Das Datum kann auch im Format JJJJ-MM-TT (oder in dem Format, das in Ihrer Region verbreitet ist) angegeben werden.

-E, --expiredate EXPIRE_DATE

Setzt das Datum oder die Anzahl der Tage seit dem 1. Januar 1970, ab dem auf das Benutzerkonto nicht mehr zugegriffen werden kann. Das Datum kann auch im Format JJJJ-MM-TT (oder in dem Format, das in Ihrer Region verbreitet ist) angegeben werden. Ein Benutzer, dessen Konto gesperrt ist, muss sich mit dem Systemadministrator in Verbindung setzen, ehe er sich wieder am System anmelden kann.

Passing the number -1 as the EXPIRE_DATE will remove an account expiration date.

-h, --help

zeigt die Hilfe an und beendet das Programm

-i, --iso8601

When printing dates, use YYYY-MM-DD format.

-I, --inactive INACTIVE

Set the number of days of inactivity after a password has expired before the account is locked. The INACTIVE option is the number of days of inactivity. A user whose account is locked must contact the system administrator before being able to use the system again.

Passing the number -1 as the INACTIVE will remove an account's inactivity.

-l, --list

zeigt Informationen zur Kontoalterung an

-m, --mindays MIN_DAYS

Set the minimum number of days between password changes to MIN_DAYS. A value of zero for this field indicates that the user may change their password at any time.

-M, --maxdays MAX_DAYS

Set the maximum number of days during which a password is valid. When MAX_DAYS plus LAST_DAY is less than the current day, the user will be required to change their password before being able to use their account. This occurrence can be planned for in advance by use of the -W option, which provides the user with advance warning.

Passing the number -1 as MAX_DAYS will remove checking a password's validity.

-R, --root CHROOT_DIR

Apply changes in the CHROOT_DIR directory and use the configuration files from the CHROOT_DIR directory.

-W, --warndays WARN_DAYS

Set the number of days of warning before a password change is required. The WARN_DAYS option is the number of days prior to the password expiring that a user will be warned their password is about to expire.

If none of the options are selected, chage operates in an interactive fashion, prompting the user with the current values for all of the fields. Enter the new value to change the field, or leave the line blank to use the current value. The current value is displayed between a pair of [ ] marks.  

ANMERKUNGEN

The chage program requires a shadow password file to be available.

The chage command is restricted to the root user, except for the -l option, which may be used by an unprivileged user to determine when their password or account is due to expire.
