GOODUSERS(1)

     NAME
          goodusers - verify user login id on current system

     SYNOPSIS
          goodusers

     DESCRIPTION
          Use goodusers to verify the login ids given on stdin.  Login
          ids are verified either through the system call getpwuid(3V) 
          (which checks in the /etc/passwd file and then in the NIS map)
          or the webddts user prefs directory (which notes if the user
          has ever logged in to the webddts user interface).

     DIAGNOSTICS
          It works as all standard filters used in the master.tmpl
          files.  It reads the login ids from stdin and writes all
          valid ones to stdout.  If any are invalid, an error message
          is sent to stderr and the program exits with an exit status
          of 1.  Otherwise it exits with an exit status of 0.

          -a
          When used  with this  option,  login  ids starting with $ are 
          accepted  as  a  valid  user id.  This option is  useful when 
          checking validity of the login ids in project access control.
