How to Determine if an HP-UX Account is Locked

/usr/lbin/getprpw -l <account>
/usr/lbin/modprpw -k <account>

You need to know if accounts are locked
System may be a "trusted" system which means that it has higher security
enabled.
On a non-trusted system the /etc/passwd file will contain the information:
man passwd:
-s name Display some password attributes associated with the
specified name. Superuser privilege and non-trusted
mode is required if the files repository is specified.
The format of the display will be:
name status mm/dd/yy min max warn

or, if password aging information is not present
(#### e.g. that info is held in tcb directories ###)
name status
where status means: PS =passworded; LK =locked; and NP=no password.
passwd -s -a:
PS =passworded; LK =locked; and NP=no password
on a trusted system the /tcb directory structure holds the lock info;
man getprpw:
lockout returns the reason for a lockout in a "bit" valued string, where 0 = condition not present, 1 is present.

The position, left to right represents:

Google Voice and Video Chat Installer for Google Hangouts  "The Installer encountered error 1625:  This installation is forbidden by system policy.  Contact your system administrator".

1 past password lifetime
2 past last login time (inactive account)
3 past absolute account lifetime
4 exceeded unsuccessful login attempts
5 password required and a null password
6 admin lock
7 password is a *
(If the user is NOT locked, all bits will be 0)

getprpw:
for USER in `awk -F: '{print $1}' /etc/passwd`
do
printf $USER
printf " "
/usr/lbin/getprpw -m lockout,alock $USER
done

SOLVED: Kickstart (system-config-kickstart) - Could not read video driver database

After I updated to Ubuntu 14.04 I tried to launch the Kickstart Configurator GUI and it wouldn't load.

Error Message: "Could not read video driver database"

# system-config-kickstart

(system-config-kickstart.py:18686): IBUS-WARNING **: The owner of /home/user/.config/ibus/bus is not root!
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/system-config-kickstart/system-config-kickstart.py", line 92, in <module>
    kickstartGui.kickstartGui(file)
  File "/usr/share/system-config-kickstart/kickstartGui.py", line 131, in __init__
    self.X_class = xconfig.xconfig(xml, self.kickstartData)
  File "/usr/share/system-config-kickstart/xconfig.py", line 80, in __init__
    self.fill_driver_list()
  File "/usr/share/system-config-kickstart/xconfig.py", line 115, in fill_driver_list
    raise RuntimeError, (_("Could not read video driver database"))
RuntimeError: Could not read video driver database
# 

This resolved my issue:

# apt-get remove hwdata
# wget ftp://mirror.ovh.net/mirrors/ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/h/hwdata/hwdata_0.234-1_all.deb
# dpkg -i hwdata_0.267-1_all.deb
# apt-get install system-config-kickstart 

Hope this helps you.
