[SOLVED] Setting and checking the expiration date of a user

74razor · 10-11-2013, 03:52 AM

I'm using CentOS 6.4 and adding a user account with an expiration date.

Syntax I've used is: useradd -e 2013-12-31 smith

Now, how do I verify this is part of smith's user account? I've tried looking in /etc/passwd, but the information is not listed there. I looked in /etc/default/useradd, but that is just the default variable that is blank.

I'm very new to CentOS, any help would be appreciated.

chage -l username
