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 stan-
     dard output, converting binary records of the type found in
     wtmp to formatted ASCII records. The ASCII version is useful
     to enable editing, via ed(1), bad records or general purpose
     maintenance of the file.

     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 wtmp
     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(1M) will
     fault when it encounters certain date-change records.

     Each time the date is set, a pair of date change records are
     written to /etc/wtmp.  The first record is the old date
     denoted by the string old time placed in the line field and
     the flag OLDTIME placed in the type field of the <utmp.h>
     structure. The second record specifies the new date and is
     denoted by the string new time placed in the line field and
     the flag NEWTIME 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 con-
     sists 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(1M) will fail when processing connect accounting
     records.
