In this example, we report shadow file problems.
The ShadowFileProblemsUrgent script might send an alert message like the following:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PIKT ALERT
Tue Nov 25 11:53:05 2003
kiev2
URGENT:
ShadowFileProblemsUrgent
Report /etc/shadow file problems
User smetana has NO PASSWORD!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The script follows.
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//
// accounts_alarms.cfg
//
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
[other alarms omitted...]
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
ShadowFileProblemsUrgent
init
status active
level urgent
task "Report /etc/shadow file problems"
input file "=shadow"
seps ":"
dat $username [1]
dat $password [2]
keys $username
begin // assume no crisis (yet)
set #crisis = #false()
rule
if #length($password) == 0
output mail "User $username has NO PASSWORD!"
output syslog "User $username has NO PASSWORD!"
if $username eq "root"
set #crisis = #true()
endif
endif
# ifdef page
end
if #crisis
# if misscritsys
=page($hostname() urgent shadow problem (see alert email),
=pagesysadmins, =allhours(#now()))
# else
=page($hostname() urgent shadow problem (see alert email),
=pagesysadmins, ! =offhours(#now()))
# endif // misscritsys
endif
# endifdef // page

This is just one program example. You could add rules, or write new scripts, for example to report: frozen (starred out) accounts, password changes for certain key accounts, missing fields, malformed lines, violations of expiration rules, etc.
