CHECKUP(ADM) UNIX System V
Name
checkup - Report on MMDF problems
Syntax
/usr/mmdf/bin/checkup [-p -v[digit]]
Description
The checkup command is used to check aspects of the MMDF
system configuration. Normally, checkup reports on all
problems that are encountered, including correct states.
Displayed problems are prefixed by two asterisks (**);
information that is advisory is enclosed in square brackets
([]).
The two optional flags to checkup specify how much
information is displayed. The -p option reports only
problems detected by checkup. This is useful for day-to-day
checking of the system, such as mailing the output to the
postmaster alias.
The -v flag takes an optional digit which ranges from 1 (the
same as the -p) option, to level 7 which displays all
information.
Some of the displayed information, such as that about
permissions modes varies by site conventions and may not
have widespread significance. In particular it is common
for sites to allow group read, write, or execute on files
that checkup expects to be protected more carefully. Use of
group permissions can greatly ease administration efforts
for system managers without compromising security. Warnings
regarding ``others'' permissions should be examined.
