I should give you an example. Let say you want to change the mysql userid
"lastupdate" field to reset the last time the password was changed (or to trick
it to think it has been changed)
chsec -f /etc/security/passwd -s mysql -a lastupdate=1297433449
1297433449 is epoch time for Feb 11 2011 09:10:49
Which leads me to a neat little epoch script I wrote in case someone is
interested in converting epoch times:
#!/bin/ksh
if (( $1 )); then
date_epoch=$(echo "0t$1=Y" | /usr/bin/adb /etc/motd | awk '{print $2" "$3"
"$1" "$4}')
echo "$date_epoch\n"
else
epoch_seconds=$(awk 'BEGIN {srand(); printf("%d\n", srand())}')
echo "$epoch_seconds\n";
fi
If you give it a parameter is will convert it to real time, no parameter it
will give the current time in epoch.
