fwtmp(1M)                                                         fwtmp(1M)


   NAME
         fwtmp, wtmpfix - manipulate connect accounting records

   SYNOPSIS
         /usr/lib/acct/fwtmp [-ic]
         /usr/lib/acct/wtmpfix [files]

   DESCRIPTION
         fwtmp reads from the standard input and writes to the standard
         output, converting binary records of the type found in /var/adm/wtmp
         to formatted ASCII records.  The ASCII version is useful when it is
         necessary to edit bad records.

         The argument -ic is used to denote that input is in ASCII form, and
         output is to be written in binary form.

         wtmpfix examines the standard input or named files in utmp.h format,
         corrects the time/date stamps to make the entries consistent, and
         writes to the standard output.  A - can be used in place of files to
         indicate the standard input.  If time/date corrections are not
         performed, acctcon will fault when it encounters certain date-change
         records.

         Each time the date is set, a pair of date change records are written
         to /var/adm/wtmp.  The first record is the old date denoted by the
         string "old time" placed in the line field and the flag OLDTIME
         placed in the type field of the utmp structure.  The second record
         specifies the new date and is denoted by the string new time placed
         in the line field and the flag NEWTIME placed in the type field.
         wtmpfix uses these records to synchronize all time stamps in the
         file.

         In addition to correcting time/date stamps, wtmpfix will check the
         validity of the name field to ensure that it consists solely of
         alphanumeric characters or spaces.  If it encounters a name that is
         considered invalid, it will change the login name to INVALID and
         write a diagnostic to the standard error.  In this way, wtmpfix
         reduces the chance that acctcon will fail when processing connect
         accounting records.
