IBM NFS/DFS Secure Gateway manual Dfsgwd Purpose, Nodomains, Verbose

dfsgwd

Purpose

Initializes the Gateway Server process for the NFS/DFS Secure Gateway

Synopsis

dfsgwd [-service service_number] [-sysname sysname] [-nodomains][-file log_file] [-verbose][-help]

Options

-serviceservice_number

Specifies the port number to be used to communicate with the dfsgwd process on the Gateway Server machine. By default, the process uses port number 438, the port number defined for the Gateway Server process in the /etc/services file or Network Information Services (NIS) services map file.

-sysname sysname

Specifies the system name for this Gateway Server. The dfsgwd process can handle NFS clients that do not recognize the @sys and @host variables, using a system name of unknown. (See the IBM DFS for AIX and Solaris Administration Guide for more information on the @sys and @host variables.) This name can be set by starting the dfsgwd process with the -sysnameoption. The sysname argument is a unique name derived from the uname( ) function that describes the machine architecture and OS type, such as sparc_sunos57.

-nodomains

Uses the base hostname (without the domain portion) for the @host variable.

-filelog_file

Specifies the full pathname of the log file in which the dfsgwd process records information about the operations it performs. By default, the dfsgwd process writes output to the log file named dcelocal/var/dfs/adm/DfsgwLog.

-verbose

Directs the process to write a message of the following form to the indicated log file each time an entry is added to the authentication table:

INFO: Adding ticket for "username"

where username is the name of the user for whom the entry is added.

-helpDisplays the online help for this command. All other valid options specified with this option are ignored.
