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 formatted 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(8) 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
considered 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
written in binary form.
