          NAME
               pwck, grpck - password/group file checkers

          SYNOPSIS
               /etc/pwck [file]
               /etc/grpck [file]

          DESCRIPTION
               The pwck command scans the password file and notes any
               inconsistencies.  The checks include validation of the
               number of fields, login name, user ID, group ID, and whether
               the login directory and the program-to-use-as-Shell exist.
               The default password file is /etc/passwd.

               The grpck command verifies all entries in the group file.
               This verification includes a check of the number of fields,
               group name, group ID, and whether all login names appear in
               the password file. The default group file is /etc/group.

          FILES
               /etc/group
               /etc/passwd

          DIAGNOSTICS
               Group entries in /etc/group with no login names are flagged.
