   8 .SH NAME

 457 Shows password attributes for the login \fIname\fR. For the \fBnisplus\fR
 458 repository, this works for everyone. However for the \fBfiles\fR and \fBldap\fR
 459 repositories, this only works for the superuser. It does not work at all for
 460 the \fBnis\fR repository which does not support password aging.
 461 .sp
 462 The output of this option, and only this option is Stable and parsable. The
 463 format is \fIusername\fR followed by white space followed by one of the
 464 following codes.
 465 .sp
 466 New codes might be added in the future so code that parses this must be
 467 flexible in the face of unknown codes. While all existing codes are two
 468 characters in length that might not always be the case.
 469 .sp
 470 The following are the current status codes:
 471 .sp
 472 .ne 2
 473 .na
 474 \fB\fBLK\fR\fR
 475 .ad
 476 .RS 6n
 477 Account is locked for UNIX authenitcation. \fBpasswd -l\fR was run or the
