9448.0. "How to remove "null" username account from C2" by SNOFS1::IPSSG_FL () Wed Apr 09 1997 11:13

    
    On Digital UNIX V4.0B with C2 Security enabled.  When I didthe command
    /usr/tcb/bin/authck -a,  I got the following error message
    
    	# ./authck -a
     appears in Protected Password database but cannot be retrieved
         with getprpwent()
     not listed in /etc/passwd, but is in the Protected Password database.
    
    
    It looked like the file /tcb/files/auth.db contain a "null" username
    account.  Is there anyways to clean it up ??
