matically.
Options

Check the Protected Password database.
The Protected Password database and are checked for completeness such that neither contains entries not in the other. The
cross references between the Protected Password database and are checked to make sure that they agree. If a user does NOT
exist in but exists in the Protected Password database, then all inconsistencies are reported. Fields in the Protected
Password database are then checked for reasonable values. For example, all time stamps of past events are checked to make
sure that they have times less than the times returned by time(2).
Fields in the Terminal Control database are checked for reasonable values.
All time stamps of past events are checked to make sure they have times less than those returned by time(2).
Shorthand equivalent of using the
and options together in a single command.
Provide running diagnostics as the program proceeds.
Produce warnings when unusual conditions are encountered that might not cause program errors in login, password and su pro-
grams.
