VERIEXECCTL(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 					    VERIEXECCTL(8)

NAME

     veriexecctl -- manage the Veriexec subsystem

SYNOPSIS

     veriexecctl [-ekv] load [file]
     veriexecctl delete file | mount_point
     veriexecctl dump
     veriexecctl flush
     veriexecctl query file

DESCRIPTION

     The veriexecctl command is used to manipulate Veriexec, the NetBSD file integrity subsystem.

   Commands
     load [file]
	   Load the fingerprint entries contained in file, if specified, or the default signatures file otherwise.

	   This operation is only allowed in learning mode (strict level zero).

	   The following flags are allowed with this command:

	   -e	   Evaluate fingerprint on load, as opposed to when the file is accessed.

	   -k	   Keep the filenames in the entry for more accurate logging.

	   -v	   Enable verbose output.

     delete file | mount_point
	   Delete either a single entry file or all entries on mount_point from being monitored by Veriexec.

     dump  Dump the Veriexec database from the kernel.	Only entries that have the filename will be presented.

	   This can be used to recover a lost database:

		 # veriexecctl dump > /etc/signatures

     flush
	   Delete all entries in the Veriexec database.

     query file
	   Query Veriexec for information associated with file: Filename, mount, fingerprint, fingerprint algorithm, evaluation status, and entry
	   type.

FILES

     /dev/veriexec    Veriexec pseudo-device
     /etc/signatures  default signatures file

     The kernel is expected to have the ``veriexec'' pseudo-device.
