Ah. That explains everything.
/mit/ops/services/moira/build/afssync/pt_util: illegal option -- h
Usage: ptdump [options] [-d data] [-p prdb]
Options:
-w Update prdb with contents of data file
-u Display users
-g Display groups
-m Display group members
-n Follow name hash chains (not id hashes)
-s Display only system (Moira) data
-x Display extra users/groups
[Exit 1 ]
I had interpreted he contrast between the description of the -x and -s
options to imply that -x displayed _everything_. Examination of he code
(tortured though it is, suggests that better descriptions would be
-s Do not display extra users/groups
-x Do not display system users/groups
But that shall be left for another day, after the resync and purge are
done.
