NAME
  convauth - convert system authorization databases

SYNOPSIS
  /usr/tcb/bin/convauth [-O] [-d dblist] [-q] [-r] [-u uid] [-v] [-H]

FLAGS
  -d dblist
       Specifies which databases to convert.  Choose one or more of the
       letters d, f, p, t, or v.

	 d  -  /etc/auth/system/default to /etc/auth/system/default.db

	 f  -  /etc/auth/system/files to /etc/auth/system/files.db

	 p  -  /tcb/files/auth/?/* to /tcb/files/auth.db and
       /var/tcb/files/auth.db

	 t  -  /etc/auth/system/ttys to /etc/auth/system/ttys.db

	 v  -  /etc/auth/system/devassign to /etc/auth/system/devassign.db

       If no -d option is given, the default database list is as though -d pt
       were specified.

  -q   Suppresses non-error output.

  -r   Keeps all migrated user-profile entries in /tcb/files/auth.db rather
       than /var/tcb/files/auth.db.

  -u uid
       Specifies the minimum general user UID.	User-profile entries with
       uids lower than this value (default 100) are written to the
       /tcb/files/auth.db file, and profile entries with UIDs greater than or
       equal to this value are written to the /var/tcb/files/auth.db file.

  -v   Gives more verbose messages.

  -O   Reverts from *.db files to old-style databases.

  -H   Prints a help messages and exits with no further processing.

DESCRIPTION
  The convauth utility is used to convert existing ASCII system authorization
  database files to DB format for faster access and updates.  In the case of
  the ttys and user-profile data, this greatly improves the performance of
  login when using ENHANCED security.


EXAMPLES
  The default conversion done by secsetup to convert the user profiles and
  terminals information:


       # convauth

  The same conversion explicitly showing the default databases and general
  user UID assumptions:

       # convauth -d tp -u 100

  Conversion of just the device assignment data:

       # convauth -d v
