creatiadb -- create /etc/security/ia/index and /etc/security/ia/master files

Synopsis

creatiadb

Description

The creatiadb command creates the /etc/security/ia/index and /etc/security/ia/master files. It is invoked by init through an entry in the inittab(4) file at system initialization time. The files are created after each system boot.

If there are errors, a message is written to the console and to the file /var/adm/creatialog.

Note that a NIS user with an entry in /etc/security/ia/index and /etc/security/ia/master will always be authenticated via their entry in these local I&A security databases. In order for a NIS user to be authenticated via the password database on the NIS server, the local I&A security databases must not contain an entry for that user. See useradd(1M) for information on how to create such users.

Files

/etc/group
/etc/shadow
/etc/passwd
/etc/security/ia/audit
/var/adm/creatialog

Diagnostics

The creatiadb command exits with one of the following values:

0
Success.

1
Failure. Master and index files unchanged.

2
Failure. I&A data file(s) missing.
