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
Operations
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.
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.
EXAMPLES
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
