SYNOPSIS

       [file]

DESCRIPTION

       verifies the information in the user database reports inconsistencies, and fixes problems.

       If no options and no arguments are specified, reports all data corruption problems in all files in

       If the option is also specified, each reported problem is repaired.

       If a file argument (hex 00-ff) is specified, only that file in the directory is verified.

   Options
       The following options are recognized:

	      Verify attributes.  Information in
		   is  used  to report any attribute that is not valid, not allowed in the user database, has an invalid value, or is allowed only
		   for a local user and the user is not in

	      Normally when the user database is disabled (see
		   userdb(4)), immediately exits without verifying or repairing the database.  The option overrides this and forces to	verify	or
		   repair the database.

	      Verify user names.
		   User names found in the database are reported if they do not exist in any of the repositories defined in This option could take
		   a long time on a system with many users.

	      Repair all data corruption problems that are found.
		   If this option is not specified, problems are reported but not repaired.

       success: no inconsistencies were found
       inconsistencies were found and fixed
       invalid usage
       database is disabled; see
	  userdb(4)
       inconsistencies were found but not fixed,

NAME

       userdbget - display information residing in the user database, /var/adm/userdb

SYNOPSIS

       name [attr]...

       [attr]...

DESCRIPTION

       displays  the  per-user	information  residing in the user database as a sequence of pairs.  Each pair is printed on a separate line and is
       preceded by the username.  A per-user value in the user database, overrides any system-wide default configured in See userdb(4)	and  secu-
       rity(4) for more details about the user database and system-wide defaults, respectively.

       If no attr arguments are specified on the command line, displays all configurable attributes of users in the user database.  If one or more
       attr arguments are specified, displays only those attributes.

   Options
       The following options are recognized:

       Display attributes of all users in the user database.

       Display internal attributes, in addition to the configurable ones.
		 Internal attributes are not user configurable and are normally modified only by programs that enforce system security.  The  file
		 indicates which attributes are configurable and which are internal.

       Display attributes for only the specified user
		 name.

   Notes
       Only users who have read and write access to can run

RETURN VALUE

       exits with one of the following values:

       success
       invalid user
       invalid usage
       insufficient permission to access the user database
       file system error
       invalid attribute;
	    does not allow a per-user value
       an attribute value is not within the range specified in
       block overflow
       entry overflow
       database lock failure
       database is disabled; see
	    userdb(4)
       invalid user name
       not a local user

EXAMPLES

       In the following example, all attributes for user are printed.  The audit flag for user is enabled.  The display last login feature is dis-
       abled.

       In the next example, only specific attributes are printed.  The audit flag for user is enabled.	No  value  is  printed	for  because  that
       attribute is not defined for user the minimum password length for user is the system-wide default defined in (see security(4)).

       In the last example, prints all configurable attributes of all users in the user database.
