Symptoms:
	PHCO_18694:
	Following a fresh system install, after adding
	new users to the system, the ISSO screen would hang
	indefinitely when trying to select a user account name for
	modification.

	PHCO_17487:
	After authck returns with an error, status is 0 (echo $?),
	it should be 1.

Defect Description:
	PHCO_18694:
	A freshly-installed system would cause the ISSO interface
	to hang after adding a new user and attempting to select
	a username for modification.

	Resolution:
	The authck routine would remove the map files and attempt
	to recreate them unsuccessfully. Now it does not remove the
	files, but still tries to update the map files whenever
	necessary. Needs PHCO_18502 installed.

	PHCO_17487:
	Flag was being reset.

	Resolution:
	Modify code to correct the problem.  To verify
	Run authck on fcdb file that has a problem, like TAB
	missing at the beginning of the line. After authck returns
	display the status, it should be 1

	authck -f -F file.fcdb
	echo $?
