NOME

       chage - cambia le informazioni sulla scadenza della password

SINOSSI

       chage [options] LOGIN

DESCRIZIONE

       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.

OPZIONI

       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
           Imposta la data o il numero di giorni dal 1 gennaio 1970 dal quale l'account utente
           non sarà più accessibile. La data può essere inserita nel formato AAAA-MM-GG (o il
           formato più comunemente utilizzato nel proprio paese). Un utente il cui account sia
           bloccato deve contattare l'amministratore di sistema prima di poter accedere
           nuovamente al sistema.

           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
           Mostra un messaggio di aiuto ed esce.

       -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
           Visualizza le informazioni sulla scadenza dell'account.

       -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. PAM authentication is using the host files. 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.

NOTA

       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.

CONFIGURAZIONE

       The following configuration variables in /etc/login.defs change the behavior of this tool:

FILE

       /etc/passwd
           Informazioni sugli account utente.

       /etc/shadow
           Informazioni sicure sugli account utente.

VALORI RESTITUITI

       The chage command exits with the following values:

       0
           success

       1
           permission denied

       2
           invalid command syntax

       15
           can't find the shadow password file
