NAME
ttsyncd - daemon to maintain the nis+ password table in sync with the nis+ trusted table
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lbin/ttsyncd [-D][-v][-t synchour][-i interval]
DESCRIPTION
ttsyncd checks that each login name in the nis+ password (passwd) table appears in the nis+
trusted table. It will create a user entry in the trusted table for every user that exists in the password
table and NOT in the trusted table. Each nis+ user can potentially log in to an HP trusted system; thus,
ttsyncd aids trusted systems by creating an entry in the trusted table before the nis+ user logs in. In
turn, the system administrator can modify global security attributes for each nis+ user before they log in
to a trusted system that is part of the nis+ namespace.
Options
ttsyncd recognizes the following options:
-D Used for debugging ttsyncd. All output will go to the screen as well as the syslog.
-v Verbose mode used for debugging
ttsyncd.
-t Initial daily sync time. The time is in military hour (0 through 23). For example,
-t10 sync time is 10 a.m
-t23 sync time is 11 p.m
-t0 midnight
default sync once next sync at midnight
-i Sync interval. This value is allowed from 0 through 23. This is only in hours. For example,
-i0 sync continuously (see note below)
-i4 sync every 4 hours
-i20 sync every 20 hours
default sync 24 hours
DIAGNOSTICS
If it is desired to administer Trusted mode centrally within a nis+
namespace, ttsyncd should be run-
ning on every HP
nis+ server. Furthermore,
ttsyncd can be started automatically at boot time by set-
ting TTSYNCD=1 in
/etc/rc.config.d/comsec
. Additionally, ttsyncd will run only on a nis+
server (root or master) and only if nis+ is up and running.
EXAMPLES
Command format
Initial sync time at midnight and sync every 2 hours.
/usr/lbin/ttsyncd -t0 -i2
Initial sync time at 10 a.m and sync every 2 hours.
/usr/lbin/ttsyncd -t10 -i2
Initial sync time at midnight and sync every 4 hours.
/usr/lbin/ttsyncd -i4
Sync only at midnight.
/usr/lbin/ttsyncd
Continuously sync starting at midnight.
/usr/lbin/ttsyncd -i0
NOTE
If interval -i0 is given, ttsyncd will keep checking the passwd table for change. If there is any change
in the passwd table then it will do a sync. This is useful when trusted table needs to be sync’ed as soon
passwd table is modified. The drawback is it will consume CPU time for checking the passwd table.
