dfsgwd

Purpose

Initializes the Gateway Server process for the NFS/DFS Secure Gateway

Synopsis

dfsgwd [-service service_number] [-sysname sysname] [-nodomains] [-file log_file]

[-verbose] [-help]

Options

-service

service_number

Specifies the port number to be used to communicate with the dfsgwd
process on the Gateway Server machine. By default, the process uses
port number 438, the port number defined for the Gateway Server
process in the /etc/services file or Network Information Services (NIS)
services map file.

-sysname

sysname

Specifies the system name for this Gateway Server. The dfsgwd
process can handle NFS clients that do not recognize the @sys and
@host

variables, using a system name of unknown. (See the IBM DFS

for AIX and Solaris Administration Guide for more information on the
@sys

and @host variables.) This name can be set by starting the

dfsgwd

process with the -sysname option. The sysname argument is a

unique name derived from the uname( ) function that describes the
machine architecture and OS type, such as sparc_sunos57.

-nodomains

Uses the base hostname (without the domain portion) for the @host
variable.

-file

log_file

Specifies the full pathname of the log file in which the dfsgwd process
records information about the operations it performs. By default, the
dfsgwd

process writes output to the log file named

dcelocal/var/dfs/adm/DfsgwLog.

-verbose

Directs the process to write a message of the following form to the
indicated log file each time an entry is added to the authentication
table:

INFO: Adding ticket for "username"

where username is the name of the user for whom the entry is added.

-help

Displays the online help for this command. All other valid options
specified with this option are ignored.
