14 The kadb_check command checks the integrity of the Protection
15 Database, reporting any errors or corruption it finds. If there are
16 problems, do not issue any B<kas> commands until the database is
21 The results can be unpredictable if the Authentication Server makes changes
22 to the Authentication Database while this command is running. Use the
23 B<bos shutdown> command to shutdown the local B<kaserver>
24 process before running this command, or before creating a second copy of the
25 B<kaserver.DB0> file (with a different name) on which to run
34 Names the Authentication Database (copy of the
35 B<kaserver.DB0> file) to check. If the current working
36 directory is not the location of the file, provide a pathname, either full or
37 relative to the current working directory.

51 Outputs every entry in the database, providing information similar to that
52 returned by the B<kas examine> command.
56 Reports additional information about the database, including the number of
57 free (allocated but unused) entries in the database.
61 Names the file in which to record a list of kas commands which,
62 if issued in the command shell, recreate the current state of the database
63 being verified. Partial pathnames are interpreted relative to the
64 current working directory.
68 Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options
75 If there are errors in the database, the output always reports them on the
76 standard error stream. If any options other than B<-database>
77 or B<-help> are provided, the output written to the standard output
78 stream includes additional information as described for each option in the
79 preceding B<Options> section of this reference page. The output
80 is intended for debugging purposes and is meaningful to someone familiar with
81 the internal structure of the Authentication Database.
