39.4.1 Invoking passwd_import

In the sample session, the following passwd_import command is entered at the shell

prompt:

passwd_import -d sys5.3_tapes/adm -i -v -u cell_admin

This command speciﬁes that

• Identical names represent the same identity (-i).

• The UNIX group and password ﬁles are in the sys5.3_tapes/adm directory.

• The command will not run in check mode (-c is not speciﬁed).

• The command will run in verbose mode (-v is speciﬁed).

• The principal whose account should be used for authentication is cell_admin.

• The command prompts you for the cell_admin account’s password because the -p

option is not used.

After the command is invoked, the system prepares for passwd_import processing by

displaying the following:

Preparing import files. (dce / sad)

Setting up registry information. (dce / sad)

Verifying that the necessary Organization exists. (dce / sad)

Creating group objects from group file. (dce / sad)

As passwd_import reads the UNIX group and password ﬁles, it informs you of any

conﬂicts and prompts for their resolution.

39.4.2 Examining the Group File

The passwd_import command ﬁrst checks the group ﬁle for name and then UNIX ID

conﬂicts. When you resolve the conﬂict by answering the prompt, passwd_import

creates the groups in the registry if it is so directed.
