TNCTL(8) Maintenance Commands and Procedures TNCTL(8)

NAME


tnctl - configure Trusted Extensions network parameters

SYNOPSIS


/usr/sbin/tnctl [-dfv] [-h host [/prefix] [:template]]
[-m zone:mlp:shared-mlp][-t template [:key=val [;key=val]]]
[-HTz] file]


DESCRIPTION


tnctl provides an interface to manipulate trusted network parameters
in the Solaris kernel.


As part of Solaris Trusted Extensions initialization, tnctl is run in
the global zone by an smf(7) script during system boot. The tnctl
command is not intended to be used during normal system
administration. Instead, if a local trusted networking database file
is modified, the administrator first issues tnchkdb(8) to check the
syntax, and then refreshes the kernel copy with this command:

# svcadm restart svc:/network/tnctl


See WARNINGS about the risks of changing remote host and template
information on a running system.

OPTIONS


-d

Delete matching entries from the kernel. The default is to add
new entries.

When deleting MLPs, the MLP range must match exactly. MLPs are
specified in the form:

port[-port]/protocol


Where port can be a number in the range 1 to 65535. or any known
service (see services(5)), and protocol can be a number in the
range 1 to 255, or any known protocol (see protocols(5)).


-f

Flush all kernel entries before loading the entries that are
specified on the command line. The flush does not take place
unless at least one entry parsed successfully.


-v

Turn on verbose mode.


-h host[/prefix][:template]

Update the kernel remote-host cache on the local host for the
specified host or, if a template name is given, change the
kernel's cache to use the specified template. If prefix is not
specified, then an implied prefix length is determined according
to the rules used for interpreting the tnrhdb. If -d is
specified, then a template name cannot be specified.


-m zone:mlp:shared-mlp

Modify the kernel's multilevel port (MLP) configuration cache for
the specified zone. zone specifies the zone to be updated. mlp
and shared-mlp specify the MLPs for the zone-specific and shared
IP addresses. The shared-mlp field is effective in the global
zone only.


-t template[key=val[;key=val]]

Update the kernel template cache for template or, if a list of
key=val pairs is given, change the kernel's cache to use the
specified entry. If -d is specified, then key=val pairs cannot be
specified.


-T file

Load all template entries in file into the kernel cache.


-H file

Load all remote host entries in file into the kernel cache.


-z file

Load just the global zone's MLPs from file into the kernel cache.
To reload MLPs for a non-global zone, reboot the zone:

# zoneadm -z non-global zone reboot

WARNINGS


Changing a template while the network is up can change the security
view of an undetermined number of hosts.

NOTES


The functionality described on this manual page is available only if
the system is configured with Trusted Extensions.


The tnctl service is managed by the service management facility,
smf(7), under the service identifier:

svc:/network/tnctl


The service's status can be queried by using svcs(1). Administrative
actions on this service, such as refreshing the kernel cache, can be
performed using svcadm(8), as in:

svcadm restart svc:/network/tnctl
