<title>DESCRIPTION</title>
<para>
The <command>pwck</command> command verifies the integrity of the
users and authentication information. It checks that all entries in
<filename>/etc/passwd</filename> and <filename>/etc/shadow</filename>
<phrase condition="tcb">(or the files in
<filename>/etc/tcb</filename>, when <option>USE_TCB</option> is
enabled)</phrase>
have the proper format and contain valid data.
The user is prompted to delete entries that are
improperly formatted or which have other uncorrectable errors.
</para>
<para>Checks are made to verify that each entry has:</para>

<para>
Checks for shadowed password information are enabled when the second
file parameter <replaceable>SHADOWFILE</replaceable> is specified or
when <filename>/etc/shadow</filename> exists on the system.

<para>
These checks are the following:

The checks for correct number of fields and unique user name are
fatal. If the entry has the wrong number of fields, the user will be
prompted to delete the entire line. If the user does not answer
affirmatively, all further checks are bypassed. An entry with a
duplicated user name is prompted for deletion, but the remaining
checks will still be made. All other errors are warnings and the user
is encouraged to run the <command>usermod</command> command to correct
the error.
