NAME

vncheck − lists i-number and path name for all files in a fileset

SYNOPSIS

/usr/sbin/vncheck [−i numbers] [−asm] domain#set ... 

domain#setSpecifies one or more filesets.  You must specify a fileset by entering the name of the file domain, a pound-sign (#) character, and the name of the fileset. 

FLAGS

−aIncludes in the list the path names . (dot) and .. (dot dot), which are ordinarily suppressed. 

−i numbersLists only those files with the specified i-numbers (tags). 

−mIncludes in the list the mode, UID, and GID of the files.  To use this flag you must also specify either the −i or the −s flag on the command line. 

−sLists only the special files and files with set-user-ID mode. 

DESCRIPTION

The vncheck command with no flags generates a list of all files on every specified fileset.  The list includes the path name and the corresponding i-number (tag) of each file.  Each directory file name in the list is followed by a /. (slash dot).  Use the available flags to customize the list to include or exclude specific types of files. 

To uncover concealed violations of security policy, that is, the inappropriate use of the set-user-ID mode, issue the command with the −s flag to list only special files and files with set-user-ID mode. 

The files are listed in order by i-number. To sort the list in a more useful format, pipe the output to the sort command. 

RESTRICTIONS

You must have root-user privilege to access this command. 

The vncheck command checks the /etc/fstab file for the specified domain and fileset entry.  If there is no entry in /etc/fstab for the specified domain and fileset, an error message will display indicating that the file does not exist. 
 

DIAGNOSTICS

When the fileset structure is improper, ?? (question mark question mark) denotes the parent of a parentless file.  A path name beginning with ... (dot dot dot) denotes a loop. 

FILES

/usr/sbin/vncheck
