NAME
     pwck, grpck - password/group file checkers

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/sbin/pwck [file]
     /usr/sbin/grpck [file]

DESCRIPTION
     pwck scans the password file and notes any inconsistencies.
     The checks include validation of the number of fields, login
     name, user ID, group ID, and whether the login directory and
     the program-to-use-as-shell exist.  The criteria for deter-
     mining a valid login name is derived from "Setting up the
     UNIX System" in the CX/UX System Administration Manual. 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, whether any login names belong to more than
     NGROUPS_MAX groups and that all login names appear in the
     password file. The default group file is /etc/group.

FILES
     /etc/group
     /etc/passwd

SEE ALSO

     tion Manual.

DIAGNOSTICS
     Group entries in /etc/group with no login names are flagged.
