Error information

This section describes the information provided about error conditions detected by this component.

Log files

PSSP security components maintain several log files. One is used to record the administrative tasks that are performed when configuring the security services on the system. It contains text messages indicating both normal progress and error conditions encountered in performing those tasks. The other files are kept by the Kerberos V4 daemons. The content is also message text.

The kerberos and kadmind daemons record only their initial startup and any errors encountered. The kpropd daemon records the normal progress of Kerberos V4 database propagation as well as errors encountered.

SP Security Services configuration log

SP security configuration scripts that are used to set up the security services during installation, migration, and partitioning record their progress and completion status in the following file: /var/adm/SPlogs/auth_install/log. The configuration log file is trimmed automatically at midnight to its last 500 lines.

This is an example of the configuration log:

************************************************

Kerberos V4 daemon logs

Each Kerberos V4 daemon has a log file in which errors are recorded. The Kerberos V4 log files are not automatically trimmed.

Sample DCE daemon log

For a full list of DCE daemon logs, refer to IBM DCE for AIX, Version 3.1: Administration Guide - Core Components. This is an example of the log file:
