fwtmp(1M)                                               fwtmp(1M)



NAME
     fwtmp, wtmpfix - manipulate connect accounting records

SYNOPSIS
     fwtmp [-ic]

     wtmpfix [file]...

ARGUMENTS
     file Specifies the file to be manipulated.  Using a - in
          place of file indicates the standard input.

     -ic  Indicates that input is in ASCII form and output is to
          be written in binary form.

DESCRIPTION
     fwtmp reads from the standard input and writes to the
     standard output, converting binary records of the type found
     in wtmp to formatted ASCII records.  The ASCII version is
     useful for editing bad records with ed(1), or general file
     maintenance.

     The wtmpfix examines the standard input or named files in
     wtmp format, makes the time/date stamps on the entries
     consistent, and writes to the standard output.

     If you don't correct the time/date stamp, acctcon1 will
     fault when it encounters certain date-change records.

     Each time the date is set, a pair of date change records is
     written to /etc/wtmp.  The first record is the old date
     marked with old time in the line field and the flag OLD_TIME
     in the type field of the utmp.h structure.  The second
     record specifies the new date and is marked with new time in
     the line field and the flag NEW_TIME in the type field.
     wtmpfix uses these records to synchronize all time stamps in
     the file.

     In addition to correcting time/date stamps, wtmpfix ensures
     that the name field consists solely of alphanumeric
     characters or spaces.  If it encounters an invalid name, it
     changes the login name to INVALID and writes a diagnostic to
     the standard error.  In this way, wtmpfix reduces the chance
     that acctcon1 will fail when processing connect accounting
     records.
