  NAME
       pwck, grpck - password/group file checkers

  SYNOPSIS
       /etc/pwck [file]
       /etc/grpck [file]

  DESCRIPTION
       pwck scans the password file and notes any inconsistencies.
       The checks include validation of the number of fields, login
       name, user ID, group ID, and whether the login directory and
       the program-to-use-as-Shell exist.  The default password
       file is /etc/passwd.

       Grpck verifies all entries in the group file. This
       verification includes a check of the number of fields, group
       name, group ID, and whether all login names appear in the
       password file. The default group file is /etc/group.

  FILES
       /etc/group
       /etc/passwd

  SEE ALSO
       group(4), passwd(4) in the Programmer's Reference Manual.

  DIAGNOSTICS
       Group entries in /etc/group with no login names are flagged.
