Re: [nv-l] nvauth query

[George deSocio <desocio@us.ibm.com>]

Martina,

nvauth has no query function.

Logged on users are represented by entries
in the file /usr/OV/security/cache
The file names start with the letter
U appended with the numeric UNIX UID for the user, then the hostname,
Inside the file is a cryptic line of
data, the format of which is undocumented.  But if you look at it,
you can tell what it is.  Parsing is up to you-  it isn't easy.

If a user fails, crashes, etc., the
entry will remain until a successful logout by that user, so that's another
consideration- stale entries.

Good luck :-)



Regards,
Geo.
