Security Service Administration Programs

The Security Service provides the following administration utilities:

· The sec_create_db utility creates the Security database and sets up some configuration files.

· The sec_salvage_db command helps you recover from possible program errors and data corruption. The sec_salvage_db command applies internal consistency checks to the Security database (registry) and fixes internal data structure problems. You can also use sec_salvage_db to generate an ASCII version of the registry that can be edited and reconstructed, if necessary.

· The passwd_import command allows you create registry entries based on the group and password files from machines that do not implement DCE Security.

· The passwd_export command allows you to update the UNIX /etc/passwd and /etc/group files with current user information obtained from the registry.

· The passwd_override file allows you to establish overrides to the information contained in the registry.
