fwtmp(1M)                                                  fwtmp(1M)


       NAME
             fwtmp, wtmpfix - manipulate connect accounting records

       SYNOPSIS
             /usr/lib/acct/fwtmp [-ic]
             /usr/lib/acct/wtmpfix [files]

       DESCRIPTION
             fwtmp reads from the standard input and writes to the standard
             output, converting binary records of the type found in
             /var/adm/wtmp to formatted ASCII records.  The ASCII version
             is useful when it is necessary to edit bad records.

             The argument -ic is used to denote that input is in ASCII
             form, and output is to be written in binary form.

             wtmpfix examines the standard input or named files in utmp.h
             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 will fault
             when it encounters certain date-change records.

             Each time the date is set, a pair of date change records are
             written to /var/adm/wtmp.  The first record is the old date
             denoted by the string ``old time'' placed in the line field
             and the flag OLD_TIME placed in the type field of the utmp
             structure.  The second record specifies the new date and is
             denoted by the string new time placed in the line field and
             the flag NEW_TIME 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 will fail
             when processing connect accounting records.
