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 whether a public password
       exists.  If it does, the passwd(4) line is built using the public
       password, and the other information from the user's default attribute
       sets.  If it does not, an error message is generated.

       The password information is written to standard output.  Error
       messages are written to standard error.

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

              etcpasswd > /etc/passwd

DIAGNOSTICS
       The etcpasswd command writes all diagnostic messages to standard
       error.  etcpasswd 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

SEE ALSO
       etcgroup(1M), passwd(1), passwd(4).

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
