fncheck(1M)

NAME

     fncheck - check for consistency between FNS  data  and  NIS+
     data

SYNOPSIS

     fncheck [-r] [-s] [-u] [-t type] [domain_name]

DESCRIPTION

     fncheck is used for checking for inconsistencies between FNS
     username  or  hostname  contexts  and   the  contents of the
     corresponding NIS+  passwd.org_dir or hosts.org_dir  tables,
     respectively,   in   the   NIS+   domain   domain_name.   If
     domain_name is omitted,  the  domain  name  of  the  current
     machine  is  used. By default (in the absense of the  -r and
     -s options), the following inconsistencies are displayed:

        o  items that appear only in the FNS context but  do  not
           appear in the NIS+ table,

        o  items that appear only in the NIS+ table  but  do  not
           appear in the FNS context.

OPTIONS

     -r    Display only items that appear in the FNS context  but
           do not appear in the corresponding NIS+ table.

     -s    Display items that appear in the NIS+ table but do not
           appear in the corresponding FNS context.

     -u    Update the FNS context based  on  information  in  the
           corresponding  NIS+  table.  If the -r option is used,
           items that appear only in the FNS context are  removed
           from  the FNS context. If the -s option is used, items
           that appear only in the  NIS+ table are added  to  the
           FNS  context. If neither -r or -s are specified, items
           are added and removed from the FNS context to make  it
           consistent with the corresponding NIS+ table.

     -t type
           Specify the type of context  to  check.  type  can  be
           either  hostname or  username. If this option is omit-
           ted, both hostname and username contexts are  checked.
           If   type  is   hostname,  the FNS hostname context is
           checked against the NIS+ hosts.org_dir table. If  type
           is   username,  the  FNS  username  context is checked
           against the NIS+ passwd.org_dir table.

USAGE

     Although fncheck can be used to add users and hosts  to  the
     username  and   hostname contexts as new users and hosts are
     added to NIS+, that is not its intended purpose. fncheck  is
     an expensive operation because it makes complete comparisons
     of the NIS+ table and the corresponding FNS context. When  a
     user  or  host is added or removed from NIS+ using admintool
     (see  admintool(1M)), it automatically updates the appropri-
     ate FNS contexts.
