     NAME
          fwtmp, wtmpfix - manipulate connect accounting records

     SYNOPSIS
          /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, acctcon(1) 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 acctcon(1) will fail when processing connect accounting
          records.
