Full Discussion: best configuration for syslog.conf
Operating Systems Solaris best configuration for syslog.conf Post 302712759 by DGPickett on Tuesday 9th of October 2012 04:40:15 PM

Usually, the defaults are fine until you start debugging a problem. You can turn everything on for a new file for a limited time, and see what you do not want, turn that off and try again. Syslog is used by any application that thinks it is appropriate, but usually daemons of some sort, so it can be hard to generalize. Some tags are explicitly for detailed debug messages.

warn.conf

warn.conf(4)							   File Formats 						      warn.conf(4)

NAME

       warn.conf - Kerberos warning configuration file

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/krb5/warn.conf

DESCRIPTION

       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.

EXAMPLES

       Example 1: Specifying warnings

       The following warn.conf entry

       * syslog 5m

       specifies that warnings will be sent to the syslog five minutes before the expiration of the TGT for all principals. The form of  the  mes-
       sage is:

       jdb@ACME.COM: your kerberos credentials expire in 5 minutes

FILES

       /usr/lib/krb5/ktkt_warnd        Kerberos warning daemon
