NAME
pam_abl - query or purge the databases used by the pam_abl module. SYNOPSIS
pam_abl [OPTION] [CONFIG] DESCRIPTION
Provides a non-pam interface to the infomration stored in the pam_abl module databases. CONFIG is the name of the pam_abl config file (default: /etc/security/pam_abl.conf). The config file is read to discover the names of the pam_abl databases, the rules that control purging of old data from them and commands to run when a user or host switches state. OPTIONS
MAINTENANCE -h, --help See this message. -p, --purge Purge databases according to purge rules in config. -r, --relative Display times relative to now. -v, --verbose Verbose output. NON-PAM INTERACTION -f, --fail Fail user or host. -w, --whitelist Perform whitelisting (remove from blacklist, does not provide immunity). -c, --check Check status. Returns non-zero if currently blocked Prints name: status if verboseness is specified. If more than one host or user is given, checks only the first host/user pair. -s, --service Operate in context of specified service. Defaults to none. -U, --user Operate on user (wildcards are ok for whitelisting). -H, --host Operate on host (wildcards are ok for whitelisting). If you specified commands to run in your configuration, those commands will try to run if the host or user switches state (blocked <-> clear) since the last time it was checked. The command will only be able to run, however, if you supply enough information to fill in the substitutions in the command. For instance, if your host_clr_command uses the %s parameter, you will need to specify the service with -s in order for the command to actually run. EXAMPLES
Obtain a list of failed hosts and users: $ pam_abl Obtain a full list of failures listing times relative to now: $ pam_abl -rv $ pam_abl --relative --verbose Purge old data: $ pam_abl -p $ pam_abl --purge Unblock all example.com, somewhere.com hosts: $ pam_abl -w -H *.example.com -H *.somewhere.com Fail the host badguy.com and the user joe: $ pam_abl -f -H badguy.com -U joe Check whether joe is currently allowed to use your neato service from somehost, running the necessary commands if he switches state: $ pam_abl -c -U joe -H somehost -s neato AUTHORS

NAME
gkrellmd - The GNU Krell Monitors Server SYNOPSIS
gkrellmd [ --help ] [ --verbose ] [ -u | --update-hz N ] [ -m | --max-clients N ] [ -P | --port N ] [ -a | --allow-host hostname ] DESCRIPTION
gkrellmd Listens for connections from gkrellm clients. When a gkrellm client connects to a gkrellmd server all builtin monitors collect their data from the server. However, the gkrellm process is running on the local machine, so any enabled plugins will run in the local context (Flynn is an example exception to this since it derives its data from the builtin CPU monitor). Also, any command launching will run commands on the local machine. There is no support for file system mounting and local mailbox checking on the machine where the gkrellmd server is running. OPTIONS
-h --help Displays usage information and exits. -v --version Prints gkrellmd version and exits. -V --verbose Prints connection progress. -u, --update-hz f Sets the data update frequency in samples per second for the server. This is independent of and should be less than the gkrellm client update rate. The rate can be from 1 to 10 and should be lower to minimize network traffic. A value of not much more than 1/2 the client update rate is best where it is not important to minimize network traffic. -m, --max-clients N Sets the maximum number of simultaneous clients allowed to connect to the server. -P, --port server_port Use server_port for the network connection. -a, --allow-host hostname Specify hosts which are allowed to connect. Multiple allow-host arguments may be given. If no hosts are specified on the command line or in a gkrellmd.conf file, then all hosts are allowed to connect. Also, if hostname is the keyword ALL then all hosts are allowed. This option is additive and specified hosts will be added to the hostnames listed in gkrellmd.conf files unless the --clear-hosts option is given first. -c, --clear-hosts Clears the current list of allowed hosts. Use this before any --allow-host arguments if you want command line allowed hosts to override and not be additive to those specified in gkrellmd.conf files. FILES
/etc/gkrellmd.conf System server config which is read first. The config file may contain lines similar to the command line args. For example: allow-host localhost allow-host 127.0.0.1 port 19150 max-clients 2 update-hz 2 /usr/local/etc/gkrellmd.conf Local server config file which is read second. ~/.gkrellmd.conf User server config file which is read last. With the exception of --allow-hosts, command line args will override options in gkrellmd.conf files. AUTHOR
