NAME
     pwck, grpck - password/group file checkers

USAGE
     /etc/pwck [file]
     /etc/grpck [file]

DESCRIPTION
     Pwck scans the password file and reports any inconsisten-
     cies.  The checks that it makes include validating the
     number of fields, log-in name, user ID, group ID, and
     whether the log-in directory and optional program name
     exist.  The default password file is /etc/passwd.

     Grpck verifies all entries in the group file. This verifica-
     tion includes a check of the number of fields, group name,
     group ID, and whether all log-in names appear in the pass-
     word file. The default group file is /etc/group.

DIAGNOSTICS
     Group entries in /etc/group that have no log-in names asso-
     ciated with them are flagged.

FILES
     /etc/group
     /etc/passwd

RELATED INFORMATION
     group(4), passwd(4)
