chage [options] LOGIN

ОПИСАНИЕ

The chage command changes the number of days between password changes and the date of the last password change. This information is used by the system to determine when a user must change their password.

ПАРАМЕТРЫ

The options which apply to the chage command are:

-d, --lastday LAST_DAY
    Set the number of days since January 1st, 1970 when the password was last changed. The date may also be expressed in the format YYYY-MM-DD (or the format more commonly used in your area). If the LAST_DAY is set to 0 the user is forced to change his password on the next log on.

-E, --expiredate EXPIRE_DATE
    Установить дату устаревания учётной записи пользователя, которая задаётся числом дней прошедших с 1 января 1970 года. Дата может быть также задана в виде ГГГГ-ММ-ДД (или в форме согласно региональным настройкам). Пользователь, чья учётная запись была заблокирована, должен обратиться к системному администратору, если хочет в дальнейшем работать с системой.

    For example the following can be used to set an account to expire in 180 days:

        	    chage -E $(date -d +180days +%Y-%m-%d)

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

-h, --help
    Показать краткую справку и закончить работу.

-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
    Показать информацию об устаревании учётной записи.

-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. Only absolute paths are supported.

-P, --prefix PREFIX_DIR
    Apply changes to configuration files under the root filesystem found under the directory PREFIX_DIR. This option does not chroot and is intended for preparing a cross-compilation target. Some limitations: NIS and LDAP users/groups are not verified. No SELINUX support.

-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.

ЗАМЕЧАНИЕ

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

The chage program will report only the information from the shadow password file. This implies that configuration from other sources (e.g. LDAP or empty password hash field from the passwd file) that affect the user's login will not be shown in the chage output.

The chage program will also not report any inconsistency between the shadow and passwd files (e.g. missing x in the passwd file). The pwck can be used to check for this kind of inconsistencies.

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.
