       /usr/sbin/ncheck [-i numbers] [-asm]  [device_special_file
       | advfs_domain]...

OPTIONS    [Toc]    [Back]

       Includes  in  the  list the pathnames (dot) and (dot dot),
       which are ordinarily suppressed.  Lists only those  existing
  files  with  the  specified  i-numbers  (UFS) or tags
       (AdvFS).  Includes in the list the mode, UID, and  GID  of
       the  files.   To  use  this  option  you must also specify
       either the -i or the -s  option  from  the  command  line.
       Lists  only  the  special files and files with set-user-ID
       mode.

OPERANDS    [Toc]    [Back]

       Specifies one or more file systems.  Specify a file system
       by  entering  its device special file name or AdvFS domain
       as shown in the /etc/fstab file as follows: Specify a  UFS
       file  system  by  entering  the name of its device special
       file.  For example: /dev/disk/dsk3c. You can also  specify
       the  raw  device,  such  as  /dev/rdisk/dsk4a.  You cannot
       specify the UFS mount point, such as /usr or the following
       message  is  displayed:  ncheck:  cannot open /usr: Device
       busy Specify an AdvFS fileset by entering the name of  the
       file  domain,  a pound sign (#) character, and the name of
       the fileset.  For example: root_domain#root.

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The ncheck command with no options generates a list of all
       files  on  every specified file system.  The list includes
       the path name and the corresponding  i-number  or  tag  of
       each  file.  Each  directory file name in the list is followed
 by a /.  (slash dot). Use the available  options  to
       customize the list to include or exclude specific types of
       files.

       The files are listed in order by i-number or tag. To  sort
       the  list  in a more useful format, pipe the output to the
       sort command.

NOTES    [Toc]    [Back]

       To uncover concealed violations of security  policy,  that
       is,  the  inappropriate use of the set-user-ID mode, issue
       the command with the -s option to list only special  files
       and files with set-user-ID mode.

RESTRICTIONS    [Toc]    [Back]

       You must be the root user to use this command.

       The  ncheck  command  checks  the  /etc/fstab file for the
       specified domain and file system entry.  If  there  is  no
       entry  in  /etc/fstab  for  the  specified file system, an
       error message is displayed to  indicate that the file does
       not exist.

ERRORS    [Toc]    [Back]

       The  ncheck  command  can  be used only for checking local
       file systems. The "nnn" string identifies the file  system
       type.  Specify the AdvFS domain instead of the file system
       path (such as /var).

DIAGNOSTICS    [Toc]    [Back]

       When the file system structure is improper, ??   (question
       mark  question  mark)  denotes  the parent of a parentless
       file.  A path name beginning with (dot dot dot) denotes  a
       loop.

       The  following  example  shows command options taking data
       from  a  sample  /etc/fstab  file:   #   more   /etc/fstab

       procfs rw  0  0  usr_domain#usr   /usr     advfs  rw  0  2
       var_domain#var   /var     advfs  rw 0 2 # /usr/sbin/ncheck
       /usr cannot ncheck "advfs" filesystem  #  /usr/sbin/ncheck
