NAME

convauth - convert system authorization databases  

SYNOPSIS

/usr/tcb/bin/convauth [-O] [-d dblist] [-q] [-r] [-u uid] [-v] [-H]  

FLAGS

-d dblist
Specifies which databases to convert. Choose one or more of the letters d, f, p, t, or v.

  d  -  /etc/auth/system/default to /etc/auth/system/default.db

  f  -  /etc/auth/system/files to /etc/auth/system/files.db

  p  -  /tcb/files/auth/?/* to /tcb/files/auth.db and /var/tcb/files/auth.db

  t  -  /etc/auth/system/ttys to /etc/auth/system/ttys.db

  v  -  /etc/auth/system/devassign to /etc/auth/system/devassign.db
If no -d option is given, the default database list is as though -d pt were specified.
-q
Suppresses non-error output.
-r
Keeps all migrated user-profile entries in /tcb/files/auth.db rather than /var/tcb/files/auth.db.
-u uid
Specifies the minimum general user UID. User-profile entries with uids lower than this value (default 100) are written to the /tcb/files/auth.db file, and profile entries with UIDs greater than or equal to this value are written to the /var/tcb/files/auth.db file.
-v
Gives more verbose messages.
-O
Reverts from *.db files to old-style databases.
-H
Prints a help messages and exits with no further processing.
 

DESCRIPTION

The convauth utility is used to convert existing ASCII system authorization database files to DB format for faster access and updates. In the case of the ttys and user-profile data, this greatly improves the performance of login when using ENHANCED security.  

EXAMPLES

The default conversion done by secsetup to convert the user profiles and terminals information:

# convauth

The same conversion explicitly showing the default databases and general user UID assumptions:

# convauth -d tp -u 100

Conversion of just the device assignment data:

# convauth -d v
