Invoking passwd_import

In the sample session, the following passwd_import command is entered at the shell prompt:

passwd_import -d sys5.3_tapes/adm -i -v -u cell_admin

This command specifies that

· Identical names represent the same identity (-i).

· The UNIX group and password files are in the sys5.3_tapes/adm directory.

· The command will not run in check mode (-c is not specified).

· The command will run in verbose mode (-v is specified).

· The principal whose account should be used for authentication is cell_admin.

· The command prompts you for the cell_admin account's password because the -p option is not used.

After the command is invoked, the system prepares for passwd_import processing by displaying the following:

Preparing import files. (dce / sad)

Setting up registry information. (dce / sad)

Verifying that the necessary Organization exists. (dce / sad)

Creating group objects from group file. (dce / sad)

As passwd_import reads the UNIX group and password files, it informs you of any conflicts and prompts for their resolution.
