NAME

tnctl- Configure Trusted Solaris network-daemon control parameters

SYNOPSIS

/usr/sbin/tnctl [-v] [-d debug_level] [-f logfile] [-p poll-interval] [-i interface_name] [-h host_name] [-t template_name] [-b ip_address] [-B ip_address]
/usr/sbin/tnctl -I tnidb_path
/usr/sbin/tnctl -T tnrhtp_path
/usr/sbin/tnctl -H tnrhdb_path

DESCRIPTION

tnctl provides an interface to send control and configuration messages either to the kernel directly or to tnd(1M).

If a local trusted-networking database file is modified, the administrator should issue tnchkdb(1M) to check the syntax, and must also issue tnctl to reload the kernel caches.

tnctl must be started from the trusted path; and for the -i, -t, -h, -b, -B, -I, -T, and -H options, it must have the sys_net_config privilege. tnctl can be run at any sensitivity label.

ATTRIBUTES

See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

ATTRIBUTE TYPE	ATTRIBUTE VALUE
Availability	SUNWtsu

OPTIONS

-v

Turn on verbose mode.

-d debug_level

Turn on debugging for tnd to the level specified by debug_level. debug_level may be 1 or 2; however, currently no distinction is made between the two values. If tnd is not already using a logfile, use /var/tsol/tndlog.

-f logfile

Set the logfile path, logfile, to which tnd writes debugging information. If logfile already exists, debugging information is appended to logfile.

-p poll-interval

Set poll interval to poll-interval seconds. The valid range is 0 to 2147483647; a zero value turns polling off.

-i interface_name

Update the kernel-interface cache on the specified interface_name. If the entry does not exist in the database, return an error message.

-h hostname

Update the kernel remote-host cache on the specified hostname. If the entry does not exist in the database, delete the entry from the cache.

-t template_name

Update the kernel template cache on the specified template_name. If the entry does not exist in the database, return an error message. See WARNINGS about the risks of changing a template when the network is up.

-I tnidb_path

Load all entries in the tnidb_path file into the kernel cache. tnidb_path is the full pathname plus filename of the file.

-T tnrhtp_path

Load all entries in the file tnrhtp_path into the kernel cache. tnrhtp_path is the full pathname plus filename of the file.

-H tnrhdb_path

Load all entries in the tnrhdb_path file into the kernel cache. tnrhdb_path is the full pathname plus filename of the file.

-b ip_address

Add a remote broadcast address.

-B ip_address

Delete a remote broadcast address.

WARNINGS

Changing a template while the network is up can change the security view of an undetermined number of hosts.
