The passwd_import Command Syntax

dceshared/bin/passwd_import [-h] [-c] -d pathname [-i] [-o org] \
[-p password] [-u username] [-v]

where:

-h
Displays usage information.

-c
Runs in check mode; processes the command showing conflicts, but makes no changes to the registry.

-d pathname
The path to the directory containing the password and group files to be imported.

-i
Specifies that identical name strings are not in conflict, but represent the same identity.

-o org
The name of the organization to be assigned to all principals that are added to the registry. The default is the organization named none.

-p password
The password for the account with whose privileges passwd_import will run. If you do not use the -i option, passwd_import prompts you to resolve the name conflict.

-u username
The principal name of the account with whose privileges passwd_import will run. This account must have the privileges to access the registry and add principals, groups, accounts and organizations, and members to groups and organizations. The principal name and password are used to obtain network authentication. If you do not supply them, passwd_import prompts you for them, even if you have already performed a network login.

-v
Runs in verbose mode, generating a verbose transcript of all activity.
