etc_passwd(1M)             C2 Trusted DG/UX 5.4.2T            etc_passwd(1M)


NAME
       etcpasswd - reconstruct /etc/passwd from the A&A database.

SYNOPSIS
       etcpasswd

DESCRIPTION
       The etcpasswd command generates the lines that should appear in
       /etc/passwd from information in the A&A database.  Each user defined
       in the A&A database is searched to see if a public password set
       exists.  If it does, the passwd(4) line is built using the password
       from the public password set, and the other information from the
       user's default attribute sets.

       The output is written to standard out.

EXAMPLE
       To reconstruct /etc/passwd from the A&A database, issue the following
       command:

              etcpasswd >/etc/passwd

DIAGNOSTICS
       etcpasswd writes all diagnostic messages to stderr.  The etcpasswd
       command exits with one of the following values:

              0   The group file was generated successfully, subject to
                  indicated errors

              1   Can't find the A&A database

NOTES
       The /etc/passwd database is automatically regenerated every time the
       following items in the A&A database are modified for any user:

              ⊕ password is changed
              ⊕ attribute sets are changed
