NAME

tnd- Trusted network daemon

SYNOPSIS

/usr/sbin/tnd [-d debug_level] [-f logfile] [-p poll-interval]

DESCRIPTION

The tnd (trusted network daemon) initializes the kernel with trusted network databases and also reloads the databases on demand. tnd is started at the beginning of the boot process if needed.

tnd loads these databases into the kernel: the remote host database, tnrhdb(4); the remote-host template database, tnrhtp(4); and the interface database, tnidb(4). These databases and their effect on the trusted network are described in their respective man pages. When tnrhdb(4) and tnrhtp(4) and the associated NIS+ tables are changed, tnd also updates the local kernel and file-system caches at the predetermined interval.

tnd logs its debugging information in a log file (by default, /var/tsol/tndlog) which is either set by using the -f option or changeable by using tnctl(1M).

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

tnd must be started from the Trusted Path and inherit these privileges to run: net_privaddr, net_mac_read, net_downgrade_sl, sys_net_config, proc_setclr, proc_setsl. tnd is intended to be started from an rc script and to run at the ADMIN_LOW sensitivity label.

OPTIONS

-d debug_level

Turn on debugging 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 log file is not specified with the -f option, use /var/tsol/tndlog.

-f logfile

Set logfile path to logfile for writing debugging information. If logfile already exists, append debugging information to it.

-p poll-interval

Set poll interval to poll-interval seconds. By default, poll-interval is 1800 seconds (30 minutes).
