NAME

fad_files- file access daemon files

CAUTION

Do not edit this file manually. It is automatically maintained by domain-management tools and commands.

DESCRIPTION

fad(1M) consults the fad_files file to determine which file access daemon files it should monitor, where those files are located, and what permissions they are assigned. fad.1M also uses the information in fad_files to synchronize SSP file reads, writes, and notifications of modification. Other SSP daemons and clients across the net also access this file for file access daemon information.

The fad_files file is initially installed in $SSPVAR/.ssp_private. It normally contains one or more lines of the following format:

type permission path sub_path filename

where:

type: File type, either domain or nondomain.
permission: Access privilege, r (read-only), w (write only) or rw (read and write). fad(1M) can read or write to a file only if that file has the proper permission.
path: Valid Sun Enterprise 10000 path. path can be any of the SSP environment variables such as SSPOPT, SSPVAR and SSPETC.
sub_path: Absolute path under the Sun Enterprise 10000 path. sub_path is normally etc, data or . (dot).
filename: The actual fad(1M) file name.

Any line that has a pound sign (#) in the first character position is considered a comment line.
