- This is the locally developed program chkacct(1L) (an abbreviation for
- 'check account'). Its purpose is to check the files in your Unix
- account for security problems which, if left as they are, might make it
- possible for someone to break into your account. chkacct(1L) will
- present each problem to you along with a short explanation as to why it
- is a danger. You will then be asked if you wish to ignore the problem,
- see more information about the problem, or have chkacct(1L) fix the
- problem for you.
-
- If you simply press RETURN/NEWLINE whenever prompted, chkacct(1L) will
- always choose to fix the problem in the most security-conscious
- manner.
-
- There are three steps to chkacct(1L), if you do not see one of the
- steps, then please see a PUCC General Consultant.
