|
|---|
| 37 | .Sh NAME
|
|---|
| 38 | .Nm verify_krb5_conf
|
|---|
| 39 | .Nd checks krb5.conf for obvious errors
|
|---|
| 40 | .Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|---|
| 41 | .Nm
|
|---|
| 42 | .Ar [config-file]
|
|---|
| 43 | .Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|---|
| 44 | .Nm
|
|---|
| 45 | reads the configuration file
|
|---|
| 46 | .Pa krb5.conf ,
|
|---|
| 47 | or the file given on the command line,
|
|---|
| 48 | parses it, checking verifying that the syntax is not correctly wrong.
|
|---|
| 49 | .Pp
|
|---|
| 50 | If the file is syntactically correct,
|
|---|
| 51 | .Nm
|
|---|
| 52 | tries to verify that the contents of the file is of relevant nature.
|
|---|
| 53 | .Sh ENVIRONMENT
|
|---|
| 54 | .Ev KRB5_CONFIG
|
|---|
| 55 | points to the configuration file to read.
|
|---|
| 56 | .Sh FILES
|
|---|
| 57 | .Bl -tag -width /etc/krb5.conf -compact
|
|---|
| 58 | .It Pa /etc/krb5.conf
|
|---|
| 59 | Kerberos 5 configuration file
|
|---|
| 60 | .El
|
|---|
| 61 | .Sh DIAGNOSTICS
|
|---|
| 62 | Possible output from
|
|---|
| 63 | .Nm
|
|---|
| 64 | include:
|
|---|
| 65 | .Bl -tag -width "FpathF"
|
|---|
| 66 | .It "<path>: failed to parse <something> as size/time/number/boolean"
|
|---|
| 67 | Usually means that <something> is misspelled, or that it contains
|
|---|
| 68 | weird characters. The parsing done by
|
|---|
| 69 | .Nm
|
|---|
| 70 | is more strict than the one performed by libkrb5, so strings that
|
|---|
| 71 | work in real life might be reported as bad.
|
|---|
| 72 | .It "<path>: host not found (<hostname>)"
|
|---|
| 73 | Means that <path> is supposed to point to a host, but it can't be
|
|---|
| 74 | recognised as one.
|
|---|
| 75 | .It <path>: unknown or wrong type
|
|---|
| 76 | Means that <path> is either a string when it should be a list, vice
|
|---|
| 77 | versa, or just that
|
|---|
| 78 | .Nm
|
|---|
| 79 | is confused.
|
|---|
| 80 | .It <path>: unknown entry
|
|---|
| 81 | Means that <string> is not known by
|
|---|
| 82 | .Nm .

|
|---|
| 85 | .Xr krb5.conf 5
|
|---|
| 86 | .Sh BUGS
|
|---|
| 87 | Since each application can put almost anything in the config file,
|
|---|
| 88 | it's hard to come up with a watertight verification process. Most of
|
|---|
| 89 | the default settings are sanity checked, but this does not mean that
|
|---|
| 90 | every problem is discovered, or that everything that is reported as a
|
|---|
| 91 | possible problem actually is one. This tool should thus be used with
|
|---|
| 92 | some care.
|
|---|
| 93 | .Pp
|
|---|
| 94 | It should warn about obsolete data, or bad practice, but currently
|
|---|
| 95 | doesn't.
