NAME
       aaupdate - update a Trusted A&A database to the current format

SYNOPSIS
       aaupdate  [-v] old-AA-pathname

   where:
       old-AA-pathname  is the pathname of the old format A&A database
                        directory.  old-AA-pathname must not be /etc/tcb/aa.

DESCRIPTION
       The aaupdate command updates an old format Trusted DG/UX® A&A
       database to the current format.

Options are:
[-v]      Causes aaupdate to write the user names it processes to standard
          output.  (The group names are not written to standard output.)

EXAMPLES
            $ su
            # aaupdate /etc/tcb/aa.old
            # authck

DIAGNOSTICS
       aaupdate writes all diagnostic and statistical messages to standard
       error.

       aaupdate exits with one of the following values:

       0    /aaupdate has successfully updated the Trusted A&A database.

       255  /aaupdate has been invoked incorrectly (usage error) or there
            is at least one conversion error.

NOTES
       Before installing the latest revision of Trusted DG/UX make sure to
       run authck(1m) to verify that the old format version of the A&A
       database is in a consistent state.

       Always run authck(1m) after aaupdate successfully completes.

       If for whatever reason the old format /etc/tcb/aa has not been
       renamed before running aaupdate, do it yourself, e.g.:

            $ su
            # mv /etc/tcb/aa /etc/tcb/aa.old
            # aaupdate /etc/tcb/aa.old
            # authck
