NAME
       convauth	 - convert security authorization databases into database for‐
       mat

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

OPTIONS
       Specifies which databases to convert.  Choose one or more of  the  let‐
       ters 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.  Suppresses non-error output.  Keeps all
	      migrated user-profile entries in /tcb/files/auth.db rather  than
	      /var/tcb/files/auth.db.  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	 writ‐
	      ten to the /var/tcb/files/auth.db file.  Gives more verbose mes‐
	      sages.  Reverts from *.db	 files	to  old-style  databases.  Not
	      allowed  for  auth.db.  Prints a help messages and exits with no
	      further processing.

DESCRIPTION
       The convauth utility is used to convert existing	 ASCII	system	autho‐
       rization	 database  files  to  database	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.

       The convauth utility is executed by update installation scripts.

EXAMPLES
       The  default conversion done to convert the user profiles and terminals
       information: # convauth

       The same conversion explicitly showing the default databases  and  gen‐
       eral user UID assumptions: # convauth -d tp -u 100

       Conversion of only the device assignment data: # convauth -d v
