Re: Monitoring the change of password in Unix

[Gustavo Castro <gcastrop () gmail com>]

Wilson:

  Oh... sorry, I omitted the "no extra software" bit...
  I think you could write a little shell script to achieve that (I
would monitor changes to the /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow files via a
cron job (using md5sum or so) and write a log myself), but I don't
know your real needs and I don't know the scenario either.
  (..and I don't know if "writing a little shell script" does count as
"extra software" for you...)
