NAME
       pwck, grpck - password/group file checkers

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/sbin/pwck [filename]

       /usr/sbin/grpck [filename]

DESCRIPTION
       pwck  scans the password file and notes any inconsistencies. The checks
       include validation of the number of fields, login name, user ID,	 group
       ID,  and	 whether  the  login directory and the program-to-use-as-shell
       exist.  The default password file is /etc/passwd.

       grpck verifies  all  entries  in	 the  group  file.  This  verification
       includes a check of the number of fields, group name, group ID, whether
       any login names belong to more than NGROUPS_MAX groups,	and  that  all
       login  names  appear  in	 the  password file. The default group file is
       /etc/group.

       All messages regarding inconsistent entries  are	 placed	 on the stderr
       stream.

FILES
       /etc/group

       /etc/passwd

SEE ALSO

DIAGNOSTICS
       Group entries in /etc/group with no login names are flagged.

       Group file 'filename' is empty

	   The /etc/passwd or /etc/group file is an empty file.

       cannot open file filename: No such file or directory

	   The /etc/passwd or /etc/group file does not exist.

NOTES
       If  no  filename argument is given,  grpck checks the local group file,
       /etc/group, and also makes sure that all login names encountered in the
       checked group file are known to the system  getpwent(3C) routine.  This
       means that the login names may be supplied by a network name service.
