The warn.conf file contains configuration information specifying how users will be warned by the ktkt_warnd daemon about ticket expiration on a Kerberos client. Credential expiration warnings are sent, by means of syslog, to auth.notice. All other warning messages are sent to daemon.notice.
Each Kerberos client host must have a warn.conf file in order for users on that host to get Kerberos warnings from the client. Entries in the warn.conf file must have the following format:
| |
principal syslog | terminal | mail time [email_address]
|
-
principal
- Specifies the principal name to be warned. The asterisk (*) wildcard can be used to specify groups of principals.
-
syslog
- Sends the warnings to the system's syslog. Depending on the /etc/syslog.conf file, syslog entries are written to the /var/adm/messages file and/or displayed on the terminal.
-
terminal
- Sends the warnings to display on the terminal.
-
mail
- Sends the warnings as email to the address specified by email_address.
-
time
- Specifies how much time before the TGT expires when a warning should be sent. The default time value is seconds, but you can specify h (hours) and m (minutes) after the number
to specify other time values.
-
email_address
- Specifies the email address at which to send the warnings. This field must be specified only with the mail field.
