[p4] purging old users

[Jeff Jensen]

The output of the "p4 users" command shows when the user last accessed.  The
GUIs show the same thing, such as the P4V users tab.  Contact users who
haven't logged in for a long time...

Subject: [p4] purging old users


We've recently started to use passwords in perforce, and it's created a new
problem for us. 

We used to simply purge users we thought might be idle; users would then
re-create on next use. So we could blow away anyone with no reviews with no
penalty. 

Now tough, if we blow away a user, we blow away said user's password and
they can't get back in without re-entering a password. 

So I need a better way to see who my idle users are. I'm trying to think of
a good way to get p4 to tell me who hasn't touched p4 in N days (or some
such thing) so I can use that as a basis for who might be idle. It's easy to
find user who no longer works here, but what about the users who, say, ran
p4 on one project but are done and don't touch it anymore?

Anyone have any clever tricks for finding old, idle users? 

Thanks-
