utmpd - utmpx monitoring daemon SYNOPSIS
utmpd [-debug] DESCRIPTION
The utmpd daemon monitors the /var/adm/utmpx file. See utmpx(4) (and utmp(4) for historical information). utmpd receives requests from pututxline(3C) by way of a named pipe. It maintains a table of processes and uses poll(2) on /proc files to detect process termination. When utmpd detects that a process has terminated, it checks that the process has removed its utmpx entry from /var/adm/utmpx. If the process' utmpx entry has not been removed, utmpd removes the entry. By periodically scanning the /var/adm/utmpx file, utmpd also monitors processes that are not in its table. OPTIONS
-debug Run in debug mode, leaving the process connected to the controlling terminal. Write debugging information to standard output. EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned: 0 Successful completion. >0 An error occurred. FILES
/etc/default/utmpd You can set default values for the flags listed below. For example: SCAN_PERIOD=600 SCAN_PERIOD The number of seconds that utmpd sleeps between checks of /proc to see if monitored processes are still alive. The default is 300. MAX_FDS The maximum number of processes that utmpd attempts to monitor. The default value is 4096. WTMPX_UPDATE_FREQ The number of seconds that utmpd sleeps between read accesses of the wtmpx file. The wtmpx file's last access time is used by init(1M) on reboot to determine when the operating system became unavailable. The default is 60. /var/adm/utmpx File containing user and accounting information for commands such as who(1), write(1), and login(1). /proc Directory containing files for processes whose utmpx entries are being monitored.

If the filesystem holding /var/adm/wtmpx is mounted with options which inhibit or defer access time updates, an unknown amount of error will be introduced into the utmp DOWN_TIME record's timestamp in the event of an uncontrolled shutdown (for example, a crash or loss of power ). Controlled shutdowns will update the modify time of /var/adm/wtmpx, which will be used on the next boot to determine when the pre- vious shutdown ocurred, regardless of access time deferral or inhibition. The utmpd service is managed by the service management facility, smf(5), under the service identifier: svc:/system/utmp:default Administrative actions on this service, such as enabling, disabling, or requesting restart, can be performed using svcadm(1M). The ser- vice's status can be queried using the svcs(1) command. SunOS 5.11 4 Jun 2008 utmpd(1M)

in.uucpd, uucpd - UUCP server SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/in.uucpd [-n] DESCRIPTION
in.uucpd is the server for supporting UUCP connections over networks. in.uucpd is invoked by inetd(1M) when a UUCP connection is established, that is, a connection to the port indicated in the "uucp" service specification, and executes the following protocol. See services(4): 1. The server prompts with login:. The uucico(1M) process at the other end must supply a username. 2. Unless the username refers to an account without a password, the server then prompts with Password:. The uucico process at the other end must supply the password for that account. If the username is not valid, or is valid but refers to an account that does not have /usr/lib/uucp/uucico as its login shell, or if the password is not the correct password for that account, the connection is dropped. Otherwise, uucico is run, with the user ID, group ID, group set, and home directory for that account, with the environment variables USER and LOGNAME set to the specified username, and with a -u flag specifying the username. Unless the -n flag is specified, entries are made in /var/adm/utmpx, /var/adm/wtmpx, and /var/adm/lastlog for the username. in.uucpd must be invoked by a user with appropriate privilege (usually root) in order to be able to verify that the pass- word is correct. SECURITY
in.uucpd uses pam(3PAM) for authentication, account management, and session management. The PAM configuration policy, listed through /etc/pam.conf, specifies the modules to be used for in.uucpd. Here is a partial pam.conf file with entries for uucp using the UNIX authen- tication, account management, and session management module. uucp auth requisite pam_authtok_get.so.1 uucp auth required pam_dhkeys.so.1 uucp auth required pam_unix_auth.so.1 uucp account requisite pam_roles.so.1 uucp account required pam_projects.so.1 uucp account required pam_unix_account.so.1 uucp session required pam_unix_session.so.1 If there are no entries for the uucp service, then the entries for the "other" service will be used. If multiple authentication modules are listed, then the peer may be prompted for multiple passwords. FILES

All diagnostic messages are returned on the connection, after which the connection is closed. user read An error occurred while reading the username. passwd read An error occurred while reading the password. Login incorrect. The username is invalid or refers to an account with a login shell other than /usr/lib/uucp/uucico, or the password is not the correct password for the account. NOTES
The in.uucpd service is managed by the service management facility, smf(5), under the service identifier: svc:/network/uucp Administrative actions on this service, such as enabling, disabling, or requesting restart, can be performed using svcadm(1M). Responsibil- ity for initiating and restarting this service is delegated to inetd(1M). Use inetadm(1M) to make configuration changes and to view config- uration information for this service. The service's status can be queried using the svcs(1) command. The pam_unix(5) module is no longer supported. Similar functionality is provided by pam_authtok_check(5), pam_authtok_get(5), pam_auth- tok_store(5), pam_dhkeys(5), pam_passwd_auth(5), pam_unix_account(5), pam_unix_auth(5), and pam_unix_session(5).
