EXAMPLES
The following is an example of a typical protected password databasefile:
perry:u_name=perry:u_id#101:\
:u_pwd=aZXtu1kmSpEzm:\
:u_minchg#0:u_succhg#653793862:u_unsucchg#622581606:u_nullpw:\
:u_suclog#671996425:u_suctty=tty1:\
:u_unsuclog#660768767:u_unsuctty=tty1:\
:u_maxtries#3:chkent:
This protected password database file is for the user perry. The user id for perry is 101. This value must
match the /etc/passwd entry for this user. The account has a password and its encrypted form is specified
by the u_pwd field.
The database file specifies a minimum password change time of 0, indicating the password can be changed
at any time. Furthermore, the account is permitted to have a null password (u_nullpw). The account has
a maximum consecutive unsuccessful login threshold of 3 attempts indicating that the account will be
locked after three failed attempts (u_maxtries). The remaining fields provide account information such as
the last successful and unsuccessful password change times as well as the last successful and unsuccessful
login times and terminal names.
AUTHOR
prpwd was developed by HP.

login(1), acceptable_password(3), getprpwent(3), tod(3), authcap(4), default(4), users(4).
NOTES
The getprpwent(3) routines are used to parse the protected password database files into a structure that
can used by programs. A flag in the structure indicates whether a particular field in the structure and
hence the field is defined. System default values are also provided in the structure. These values are
derived from the /tcb/files/auth/system/default field and can be used by programs in the absence of a
user specific value.
