kdcmond(8) BSD System Manager's Manual kdcmond(8)
NAME
kdcmond -- KDC monitoring daemon -- Open Directory Single Sign On
SYNOPSIS
kdcmond [-n] [-s] [-d] [-v debug_level] [-c path]
DESCRIPTION
kdcmond is an (AT&T) init-like process that launches, monitors, and
relaunches the Kerberos KDC ( krb5kdc ) process. It also registers the
KDC over Rendezvous using the following DNS records:
TXT 7200 _kerberos.hostname.
SRV 7200 _kerberos._udp.REALM.
SRV 7200 _kerberos._tcp.REALM.
When the network state changes kdcmond sends a SIGUSER1 signal to the
krb5kdc process to notify the KDC to re-initlaize its network listeners.
OPTIONS
-n prevents kdcmond from daemonizing
-d prevents kdcmond from registering the KDC over Rendezvous
-c path provides an alternate location for the kdc.conf file, which will
be passed to the krb5kdc process
-v debug_level
Sets the level of debugging information emitted by the daemon
-s sends the debug output from kdcmond to syslog
FILES
/var/db/krb5kdc/kdc.conf
The realm name and port numbers are read from this file
DIAGNOSTICS
Debug level 1 provides status information, higher levels add progressivly
more levels of detail.
