Common TCP/IP Subsystems, Services, Security Helps

The context-sensitive helps in this file are used by both SMIT and Web-based System Manager.


Displays a dialog that allows you to change the restart characteristics of the selected subsystem.


Displays a dialog that allows you to manage the inetd subservers, which include comsat, fingerd, ftpd, rexecd, rlogind, rshd, talkd, telnetd, tftpd, and uucpd.


Specify if you want to start the inetd subsystem with debugging on. Debugging information will be printed to the screen. If you start the inetd subsystem with debugging off, no debugging information will be displayed.


Specify the full path name of the inetd configuration file to use when starting the inetd subsystem. Changes to the inetd configuration file are effective at the next system restart. The default entry is /etc/inetd.conf.


Select this option to start the inetd subsystem with IPv6 on. If this option is selected, the protocols "tcp" and "udp" are interpreted as IPv6. If you start the inetd subsystem without IPv6 on, the protocols "tcp" and "udp" are interpreted as IPv4.


Specify if you want to start the syslogd subsystem with debugging on. Debugging information will be displayed. If you start the syslogd subsystem with debugging off, no debugging information is displayed.


Specify the full path name of the alternate syslogd configuration file to use when starting the syslogd subsystem. Changes to the syslogd configuration file are effective at the next system restart.


Specify the number of minutes between mark messages. The mark facility has a priority message of LOG_INFO sent every 20 minutes by default.


Specify if you want to turn debug logging on and enable the routed daemon to log additional debugging information, such as bad packets received. The default is to turn debug logging off.


Specify if you want to set up the routed daemon to run on a gateway host. The host can be set as an Internetwork router to offer a route to the default destination. The default is to turn the gateway function off.


Specify if you want to log all packets. You can write the information to a log file. Specify the full path name of the log file that will be used to log all packets.


Select this option to enable automatic tunneling to addresses that are compatible with IPv4. An IPv6 in IPv4 Tunnel is a method of transferring IPv6 packets over an existing IPv4 network. It is a point-to-point network.


Select this option to start the autoconf6 process with "verbose" activated. The autoconf6 process will display its activity or what it is failing.


Specify if you are using the Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP) and you want to set the gated daemon to log EGP external errors, routing errors, and EGP state changes. The default is to turn off this option.


Specify if you are using the Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP) and you want the gated daemon to log all error messages, changes to the routing table, and all EGP packets. The default is to turn this option off.


Specify if you want to set the gated daemon to log all internal errors and routing errors for any protocols in use. The default is to turn this option off.


Specify if you want to set the gated daemon to trace all HELLO packets received if you are using the DCN Local-Network protocol (HELLO). The default is to turn this option off.


Specify if you want to set the gated daemon to trace all Simple Network Monitoring Protocol (SNMP) transactions if you are using SNMP. The default is to turn this option off.


Specify if you want to set the gated daemon to trace all Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP) packets sent and received if you are using EGP. The default is to turn this option off.


Specify if you want to set the gated daemon to trace all Routing Information Protocol (RIP) packets received if you are using RIP. The default is to turn this option off.


Specify if you want to trace all routing changes. No matter which protocol(s) you are using, you can set the gated daemon to log all changes to the routing table. The default is to turn this option off.


Because the gated daemon always logs fatal errors, you can specify a log file name for the log comments.

Include the full path name. If no log file is specified and none of the preceding trace values are set, all messages are sent to the /dev/null file.


Specify the level of information for print debugging. The level of debugging determines the level of messages printed, with valid levels from 0 to 9. Level 9 supplies the most information. The default value is 0, which turns debugging off.

If you enable debugging information, the named daemon writes debugging information to a file named /usr/tmp/named.run.


Specify the number of an alternate port that you can use to reassign the Internet socket, where the named daemon listens for DOMAIN requests. If this parameter is not specified, the named daemon listens at the socket defined in the /etc/services file with an entry that begins with domain.


Specify the full path name of the alternate named boot file to start the named subsystem. An entry in this field, which is optional, allows you to specify a file with a leading dash.


Specify this option to trace messages. The timed daemon traces the messages it receives and stores them in the /usr/adm/timed.log file. The default is to turn tracing off.


Specifies that a machine can become the time server if the master time server becomes inoperative. Although this host will not automatically become the master time server, it can serve that role and be considered in the algorithm for choosing a master time server.


Specify a network for clock synchronization. The network can be specified as a network address or a network name contained in the /etc/networks file.


Specify any network that you want to exclude from clock synchronization. The network can be specified as a network address or a network name contained in the /etc/networks file.


Disables an existing subserver controlled by the inetd daemon.


Specify the subserver name, or use the List to view available choices.


Specify the Internet transport protocol the subserver will use. Valid protocols are Transmission Control Protocol (tcp) and User Datagram Protocol (udp).


Select the type of socket the subserver will use. Valid values are "stream" (the default) or "datagram". If you are using NIS, additional choices are "sunrcp_tcp" and "sunrcp_udp".


Specify if you want to make the inetd daemon wait for a datagram server to release the socket before continuing to listen at the socket. The default is to make the daemon wait.


Specify the user name that the inetd daemon should use to start the server. This variable allows a server to be given a lower level of permission than that given to the root user. The default user name is "root".


Specify the full path name of the server that the inetd daemon should execute to provide the service.


Specify the command line arguments that the inetd daemon should use to execute the server.


Removes an internet service.


Specify the name of an Internet server. This name must be identical to the first entry on the line that describes the server in the /etc/services file.


Specify the number of the port that this socket uses.


Specify any unofficial names used for the server (aliases). Separate each name with a blank space (i.e., alpha bravo charlie).


Specify the name of the remote host in the /etc/hosts.equiv file. The remote host must have a user name that is the same as the user name on the local host. The user name cannot be "root."

If you are using a domain name server and want to grant access to hosts in a different domain, you must specify the full domain name of each host.


Adds a foreign host name to the list of names in the /etc/hosts.equiv file.


Specify the name of the local user to be added in the /etc/ftpusers file. The user ID will be protected from remote FTP access.


Adds a user name to the list of names in the /etc/ftpusers file.
