I need to create some local users but then 'disable' that user. I know i can enable and disable the user by using usermod -L and -U but does anyone know if there is a way for me to see the current status of the user? ie locked or unlocked?
[herrold@mailhub ~]$ sudo passwd -l archive
Locking password for user archive.
passwd: Success
[herrold@mailhub ~]$ sudo passwd -S archive
archive LK 2008-07-15 0 99999 7 -1 (Password locked.)
