usrck, grpck and pwdck ?
The_Nail
I want to better myself in periodic tasks for maintaining AIX 5.1
system security. I have verified the correctness of users, groups and
passwords database files using usrck, grpck, and pwdck.
Here is what I obtained….:
[MY_SERVER:/etc/security]root# usrck -n ALL
""
is an invalid password file entry.

I am a bit reluctant to use "usrck -y ALL" or "grpck -p ALL "
commands to fix all problems since I fear it will erase some relevant
data. Am I right?
Furthermore, why do I get the following message by using usrck ? :
""
is an invalid password file entry.
Any idea?
Thx a lot,
Regards
