fwtmp(1M)                      DG/UX R4.11MU05                     fwtmp(1M)


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.
