       matically.

   Options
       recognizes the following options and tests:

	      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).

		      All time stamps of past events are checked to make sure they have times less than those returned by time(2).
