==== How to read user password was last changed in AIX ====

To check with particular user’s last password changed in AIX.
Admin can check by execute following command
<cli prompt='#'>
root@aix-server1:/etc/security# pwdadm -q user3
user3:
lastupdate = 1406597936
</cli>

To determine when a password was last set or changed, as indicated in the last update value in pwdadm output. The UTC time stamp in seconds will need to be converted into a more meaningful current date time stamp.
<cli prompt='#'>
root@aix-server1:/etc/security# perl -le ‘print scalar localtime 1406597936’
Tue Jul 29 09:38:56 2014
</cli>

read failed login
<cli prompt='#'>
root@aix-server1:/etc/security# who -a /etc/security/failedlogin
root      - ssh         Jan 21 09:43      ?
root      - ssh         Jan 21 13:25      ?
root      - ssh         Jan 21 14:36      ?
</cli>

user1 unsuccessful_login_count=7
root@aix-server1:/root# chsec -f /etc/security/lastlog -a "unsuccessful_login_count=0" -s user1
</cli>
