NAME


tnchkdb - check file syntax of trusted network databases

SYNOPSIS


/usr/sbin/tnchkdb [-h path] [-t path] [-z path]


DESCRIPTION


tnchkdb checks the syntax of the tnrhtp, tnrhdb, and tnzonecfg
databases. By default, the path for each file is:

o /etc/security/tsol/tnrhtp

o /etc/security/tsol/tnrhdb

o /etc/security/tsol/tnzonecfg


You can specify an alternate path for any or all of the files by
specifying that path on the command line by using the -h (tnrhdb), -t
(tnrhtp) and -z (tnzonecfg) options. The options are useful when
testing a set of modified files before installing the files as new
system databases.


All three database files are checked for integrity. tnchkdb returns
an exit status of 0 if all of the files are syntactically and, to the
extent possible, semantically correct. If one or more files have
errors, then an exit status of 1 is returned. If there are command
line problems, such as an unreadable file, an exit status of 2 is
returned. Errors are written to standard error.


To avoid cascading errors, when there are errors in tnrhtp, the
template names in tnrhdb are not validated.


tnchkdb can be run at any label, but the standard /etc/security/tsol
files are visible only in the global zone.

OPTIONS


-h [ path ]
Check path for proper tnrhdb syntax. If path is not
specified, then check /etc/security/tsol/tnrhdb.


-t [ path ]
Check path for proper tnrhtp syntax. If path is not
specified, then check /etc/security/tsol/tnrhtp.


-z [ path ]
Check path for proper tnzonecfg syntax. If path is not
specified, then check /etc/security/tsol/tnzonecfg.


EXAMPLES


Example 1: Sample Error Message




The tnchkdb command checks for CIPSO errors. In this example, the
admin_low template has an incorrect value of ADMIN_HIGH for its
default label.


# tnchkdb
checking /etc/security/tsol/tnrhtp ...
tnchkdb: def_label classification 7fff is invalid for cipso labels:
line 14 entry admin_low
tnchkdb: def_label compartments 241-256 must be zero for cipso labels:
line 14 entry admin_low
checking /etc/security/tsol/tnrhdb ...
checking /etc/security/tsol/tnzonecfg ...


FILES


/etc/security/tsol/tnrhdb

Trusted network remote-host database


/etc/security/tsol/tnrhtp

Trusted network remote-host templates


/etc/security/tsol/tnzonecfg

Trusted zone configuration database

the system is configured with Trusted Extensions.


It is possible to have inconsistent but valid configurations of
tnrhtp and tnrhdb when LDAP is used to supply missing templates.
