Thank you for catching my misconfiguration, I was able to get a lot more
output. I am still having a problem with parsing the /etc/security/passwd
formatted file though.
On my LINUX systems parsing each line of a shadow formatted file into fields is
fairly easy by using a ":" as a delimiter, however in AIX the formatting of the
/etc/security/passwd (AIX's version of the /etc/shadow file in LINUX) looks
like:
tstusr2:
password = 7f23WTTmyCHg6
lastupdate = 1299165612
flags = ADMCHG
tstusr3:
password = 6Xj8SCmOIx0LQ
lastupdate = 1299165619
flags = ADMCHG
I tried using a regex of "^*$" with readstringarray as it looks like the
stanzas break on a blank line, but had no luck with that. I suspect the regex
will be a bit more complex. I intend to combine this with a select_region to
set the password, update the lastupdate field, and clear the ADMCHG flag based
on a master copy of /etc/security/passwd.
Am I heading in the right direction with readstringarray, or is there a better
way to do this?
