secauthmigrate(8)
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.
