NAME

Top

CfgTie::TieShadow -- an associative array of user names to password information

SYNOPSIS

Top

This module makes the shadow database available as a regular hash.

DESCRIPTION

Top

This is a straightforward hash tie that allows us to access the shadow password database sanely.

Ties

This tie is available for programmers:

tie %shadow,'CfgTie::TieShadow'

$shadow{$name} will return a hash reference of the named shadow information

Structure of hash

Any given shadow entry has the following information associated with it (the keys are case-insensitive):

Name

Login name

Password

The encrypted password

Last

Last time it was changed

Min

The minimum number of days before a change is allowed

Max

Maximum number of days before a change in passwords is required

Warn

The number of days before expiration that they will receive a warning

Inactive

The number of days before an account is inactive

Expires

The date the account expires on

Inactive

The number of days after a password expires that the account is considered inactive and expires

Each of these entries can be modified (even deleted), and they will be reflected in the overall system. Additionally, the programmer can set any other associated key, but this information will only available to the running Perl script.

Additional Routines

&CfgTie::TieShadow'status()
&CfgTie::TieShadow_id'status()

Will return stat information on the shadow database.

Miscellaneous

$CfgTie::Tiehadow_rec'usermod contains the path to the program usermod. This can be modified as required.

$CfgTie::TieShadow_rec'useradd contains the path to the program useradd. This can be modified as required.

$CfgTie::TieShadow_rec'userdel contains the path to the program userdel. This can be modified as required.

Files

Caveats

Top

The current version does cache some shadow information.
