Information similar to the following appears:

You must specify absolute dates in DDMMMYYYY format. You must enter the days in
double-digit format, meaning you must add a leading zero to single digit days, such as
05
.
Also, you must enter months as they are defined in the Words dictionary.
You can also specify a date range. This way, you can list users who changed their passwords
sometime between two specific dates (date1 and date 2). For instance, to see if anyone
changed their password after August 1, 2009, and before August 15, 2009, type the
following:
list passchg\>01AUG2009\<15AUG2009 u

You can also use
list u
to check on particular users or groups. To do this, follow the
u
in
the command with user names or groups you want to check.
For instance, suppose that of all your users, only Mitchell and Schofield regularly forget to
change their passwords. You can see if they have not changed their passwords in the last 90
days by typing:
list passchg\<90. u mitchell schofield
Information similar to the following appears:

------- ---- ------------- --------------- -------------
mitchell 495 02JAN2009 10:55am 24JUL2009 9:00am 07JAN2009 9:50am
This causes
list u
to report only on Mitchell and Schofield, and only if they have not
changed their passwords within the specified period of time. In the example above, Mitchell
has not changed his password in the last 90 days, but Schofield has.
If you specify a group, such as producers,
list u
checks members of that group and then
reports those that have not changed their passwords in the specified period of time.
