creatiadb(1M)                                          creatiadb(1M)


       NAME
             creatiadb - create /etc/security/ia/index and
             /etc/security/ia/master files

       SYNOPSIS
             creatiadb

       DESCRIPTION
             The creatiadb command creates the /etc/security/ia/index and
             /etc/security/ia/master files.  It is invoked by init through
             an entry in the inittab(4) file at system initialization time.
             The files are created after each system boot.

             If there are errors, a message is written to the console and
             to the file /var/adm/creatialog.

             Note that a NIS user with an entry in /etc/security/ia/index
             and /etc/security/ia/master will always be authenticated via
             their entry in these local I&A security databases.  In order
             for a NIS user to be authenticated via the password database
             on the NIS server, the local I&A security databases must not
             contain an entry for that user.  See useradd(1M) for
             information on how to create such users.
