        SYNTAX

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


        DESCRIPTION

           Fwtmp

        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 to enable
        editing, via ed(1), bad records or general purpose maintenance of
        the file.

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


           Wtmpfix

        Wtmpfix examines the standard input or named files in wtmp
        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, acctcon1 will fault when it
        encounters certain date-change records.

        Each time the date is set, a pair of date change records are
        written to /etc/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.h> 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 acctcon1 will fail when
        processing connect accounting records.
