      pwck, grpck - password/group file checkers
 


SYNOPSIS
      /usr/sbin/pwck [ filename ]
 
      /usr/sbin/grpck [ filename ]
 


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, whether  any  login  names  belong  to  more  than
      NGROUPS_MAX  groups  and  that all login names appear in the
      password file. The default group file is /etc/group.
