35.3. spwd --- The shadow password database


This module provides access to the Unix shadow password database. It is available on various Unix versions.

You must have enough privileges to access the shadow password database (this usually means you have to be root).

Shadow password database entries are reported as a tuple-like object, whose attributes correspond to the members of the spwd structure (Attribute field below, see <shadow.h>):

Indeks Atribut Artinya
0 sp_namp Nama login
1 sp_pwdp Password terenkripsi
2 sp_lstchg Tanggal perubahan terakhir
3 sp_min Minimal number of days between changes
4 sp_max Maximum number of days between changes
5 sp_warn Number of days before password expires to warn user about it
6 sp_inact Number of days after password expires until account is disabled
7 sp_expire Number of days since 1970-01-01 when account expires
8 sp_flag Cadangan

The sp_namp and sp_pwdp items are strings, all others are integers. KeyError is raised if the entry asked for cannot be found.

The following functions are defined:

spwd.getspnam(name)

Return the shadow password database entry for the given user name.

spwd.getspall()

Return a list of all available shadow password database entries, in arbitrary order.
