Compression of the ACL Database

ÊFirst option:

/var/opt/lanman/bin/acladm -C -y

The -C option will either fix or delete each corrupt entry. The -y option can be used together with the -C option to fix or delete ACL entries without user intervention. (-y is recommended if you expect a large number of modifications in the ACL database.)

ÊSecond option:

/var/opt/lanman/bin/acladm -C -f

The -f option will only fix corrupt entries.

Entries that cannot be fixed (and would be deleted) are not deleted!

ÊDelete unused entries for non-existing files and directories:

/var/opt/lanman/bin/acladm -P -y

ÊTo remove entries for non-existing users:

/var/opt/lanman/bin/acladm -U

ÊTo remove redundant user entries:

/var/opt/lanman/bin/acladm -S

Please refer to the acladm manual page for the detailed usage of the acladm command. Type man acladm at the Advanced Server command prompt.

Internal database compression is performed directly by the low level database utility blobadm.

ÊTo compress the ACL database:

/var/opt/lanman/bin/blobadm -q -A

i

The method of compressing the ACL database using the accget and accadm utilities is no longer recommended from Version 4.0A of Advanced Server for UNIX. Since the programs work on a higher level than the blobadm program, it may happen in certain configurations that the ACL database is not optimally compressed or even becomes larger in certain exceptional cases.

ÊIn case of problems restore the old state the original database (e.g. /save/acl*) has to be copied to

/var/opt/lanman/datafiles

ÊStart the server. net start server
