NAME

secauthmigrate - Convert ULTRIX auth(5) authentication data to authcap(4) authentication data (Enhanced Security)  

SYNOPSIS

/usr/sbin/secauthmigrate [options] files

... | /usr/sbin/secauthmigrate [options] -  

DESCRIPTION

The secauthmigrate utility reads records from the specified files or from standard input (-). These records must be formatted according to the ULTRIX auth(Section 5) format. These can be generated by getauth on ULTRIX, or (for the Hesiod/BIND master host) can be found in /var/dss/namedb/src/auth. For each authentication record found, secauthmigrate will attempt to find a matching username record for the given UID. If that translation can be performed, an authcap(4) entry for the extended profile information for that user is created from the data in the input record. If the extended profile entry already exists, then the converted entry is left in /tcb/files/auth/?/username:ULT rather than overwrite the entry in /tcb/files/auth/?/username.

If ROOTDIR is defined, it is used instead of / as the root of the directory tree when creating the /tcb/files/auth/?/* files.  

FLAGS

-v
Indicate successful conversions on standard output.
-U
Give a long usage message.
 

ERRORS

Failed to find name for UID # xxxx -- skipped
No BSD style (/etc/passwd or NIS data) account exists. If you need this account, create a BSD style account and run secauthmigrate again.

Existing file for username -- conversion saved in /tcb/files/auth/?/username:ULT
Extended profile already exists. Compare the files to determine the differences. If the differences are not related to the password, use the dxaccounts program to update the existing file. If the differences are related to the password, disable logins and edit the /tcb/files/auth/?/username file.

secauthmigrate -- unrecognized option '${opt}'
The option you provided was not recognized. The options are -v and -U.

Usage: secauthmigrate [options] files
  (Try secauthmigrate -U for help.)
The -U option provides extensive help.
