"ap" command not dumping user profiles
System = SCO UnixWare 7.1.1

Using the following command...

ap -dgv > users.ap

... I should be able to dump all 250 user profiles to the file "users.ap" and display the results for each account as it is added to the file. The problem is that I only get the following output:

UX:ap: INFO: Account profile dumped for root
UX:ap: INFO: Account profile dumped for daemon
UX:ap: INFO: Account profile dumped for bin
UX:ap: INFO: Account profile dumped for sys
UX:ap: INFO: Account profile dumped for adm
UX:ap: INFO: Account profile dumped for uucp
UX:ap: INFO: Account profile dumped for mail
UX:ap: INFO: Account profile dumped for nuucp
UX:ap: INFO: Account profile dumped for nobody
UX:ap: INFO: Account profile dumped for noaccess
UX:ap: INFO: Account profile dumped for lp
UX:ap: INFO: Account profile dumped for listen
UX:ap: INFO: Account profile dumped for mhsmail
UX:ap: INFO: Account profile dumped for admin
UX:ap: INFO: Account profile dumped for ftp

...and then it just hangs there. Only the results for the system accounts is displayed and I have 250 normal user accounts in /usr and /home and none of their profiles are being dumped to "users.ap".

Any ideas? Smilie
