[webmin-devel] Temporary user account disabling - mechanism details


Can someone briefly explain or point to me where in the code the
behavior to temporarily disable accounts (I'm specifically looking at
the LDAP module but this may be more general than that)?  I have peeked
at the code and I thought it was some method of appending/prepending a
string onto the crypt'ed password string to disable it, but I notice
that the crypt'ed string doesn't change when I disable an account.  I
need to disable about 1,000 accounts, and I remembered that webmin had
this function, but I want to script similar behavior in this case if I can.

Thanks,
Fran
