DESCRIPTION
     pwck 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.

     grpck verifies all entries in the group file. This verifica-
     tion 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.
