NAME
       fwtmp, wtmpfix - manipulate connect accounting records

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/lib/acct/fwtmp [-ic]

       /usr/lib/acct/wtmpfix [file...]

DESCRIPTION
       fwtmp  reads from the standard input and writes to the standard output,
       converting binary records of the type found in /var/adm/wtmpx  to  for‐
       matted ASCII records.  The ASCII version is useful when it is necessary
       to edit	bad records.

       wtmpfix examines the standard input or named  files  in	utmpx  format,
       corrects	 the  time/date	 stamps	 to  make  the entries consistent, and
       writes to the standard output.  A hyphen (−) can be used	 in  place  of
       file  to	 indicate the standard input. If time/date corrections are not
       performed, acctcon(1M) will fault  when	it  encounters	certain	 date-
       change records.

       Each time the date is set, a pair of date change records are written to
       /var/adm/wtmpx. The first record is the old date denoted by the	string
       "old time" placed in the line field and the flag OLD_TIME placed in the
       type field of the utmpx structure. The second record specifies the  new
       date and is denoted by the string new time placed in the line field and
       the flag NEW_TIME placed in the type field. wtmpfix uses these  records
       to synchronize all time stamps in the file.

       In  addition  to	 correcting  time/date	stamps, wtmpfix will check the
       validity of the name  field  to	ensure	that  it  consists  solely  of
       alphanumeric characters or spaces. If it encounters a name that is con‐
       sidered invalid, it will change the login name to INVALID and  write  a
       diagnostic  to  the  standard  error.  In this way, wtmpfix reduces the
       chance that  acctcon  will  fail	 when  processing  connect  accounting
       records.

OPTIONS
       -ic	Denotes that input is in ASCII form, and output is to be writ‐
		ten in binary form.

FILES
       /var/adm/wtmpx	       history	of  user  access  and	administration
			       information
