Ê

First option:

/var/opt/lanman/bin/acladm -C -y

The -C option will either fix or delete each corrupt entry. The -y option can be used
together with the -C option to fix or delete ACL entries without user intervention. (-y is
recommended if you expect a large number of modifications in the ACL database.)

Ê

Second option:

/var/opt/lanman/bin/acladm -C -f

The -f option will only fix corrupt entries.
Entries that cannot be fixed (and would be deleted) are not deleted!

Ê

Delete unused entries for non-existing files and directories:

/var/opt/lanman/bin/acladm -P -y

Ê

To remove entries for non-existing users:

/var/opt/lanman/bin/acladm -U

Ê

To remove redundant user entries:

/var/opt/lanman/bin/acladm -S

Please refer to the

acladm

manual page for the detailed usage of the

acladm

command.

Type

man acladm

at the Advanced Server command prompt.

Internal database compression is performed directly by the low level database utility

blobadm

.

Ê

To compress the ACL database:

/var/opt/lanman/bin/blobadm -q -A

The method of compressing the ACL database using the

accget

and

accadm

utilities is no longer recommended from Version 4.0A of Advanced Server for
UNIX. Since the programs work on a higher level than the

blobadm

program, it

may happen in certain configurations that the ACL database is not optimally
compressed or even becomes larger in certain exceptional cases.

Ê

In case of problems restore the old state the original database (e.g. /save/acl*) has to
be copied to

/var/opt/lanman/datafiles

Ê

Start the server.

net start server
