NAME
       authck - check group and user entries in the A&A database

SYNOPSIS
       authck [ username ... ]

   where:
       username  The name of a user in the A&A database

DESCRIPTION
       The authck command inspects the A&A database entries for the
       specified user(s) and reports any errors on standard output.  If no
       users are specified, authck checks all users on the system.

       The errors detected are any malformation of the A&A database, and any
       condition that would prevent the specified user(s) from being granted
       service--e.g., account locked, password extinct, or invalid audit
       mask.

       One of the checks is that each user's primary group and all
       supplementary groups must also be in the A&A database.  Consequently,
       authck also checks all groups on the system before it checks the
       specified user(s).

       MAC alias definitions can be checked with the aliasck(1M) command.

EXAMPLES
       authck root

FILES
       /etc/tcb/aa/group/*
              A&A database entries for groups
       /etc/tcb/aa/user/*
              A&A database entries for users
       /etc/tcb/audit/*
              Audit alias definitions

DIAGNOSTICS
       Exit status is 0 if no problems were found, 1 if any problems were
       found, 2 on internal error.

SEE ALSO
       aaupdate(1M), aliasck(1M), aalibrary(3).

NOTES
       If the system on which authck is being run doesn't have certain
       security features configured--e.g., audit--the corresponding
       information in the A&A databases is not checked.  This means that if
       authck is used while running a traditional DG/UX System kernel to
       look for error in the A&A database, the only errors that will be
       detected are those that involve only information contained with the
       A&A database.  No alias definitions will be validated.  Also, authck
       does not check whether a user is authorized for any specific service.
