VERIFY_KRB5_CONF(8) System Manager's Manual VERIFY_KRB5_CONF(8) NAME verify_krb5_conf -- checks krb5.conf for obvious errors SYNOPSIS verify_krb5_conf [config-file] DESCRIPTION verify_krb5_conf reads the configuration file krb5.conf, or the file given on the command line, parses it, checking verifying that the syn- tax is not correctly wrong. If the file is syntactically correct, verify_krb5_conf tries to verify that the contents of the file is of relevant nature. ENVIRONMENT KRB5_CONFIG points to the configuration file to read. FILES /etc/krb5.conf Kerberos 5 configuration file DIAGNOSTICS Possible output from verify_krb5_conf include: <path>: failed to parse <something> as size/time/number/boolean Usually means that <something> is misspelled, or that it con- tains weird characters. The parsing done by verify_krb5_conf is more strict than the one performed by libkrb5, so strings that work in real life might be reported as bad. <path>: host not found (<hostname>) Means that <path> is supposed to point to a host, but it can't be recognised as one. <path>: unknown or wrong type Means that <path> is either a string when it should be a list, vice versa, or just that verify_krb5_conf is confused. <path>: unknown entry Means that <string> is not known by verify_krb5_conf. SEE ALSO krb5.conf(5) BUGS Since each application can put almost anything in the config file, it's hard to come up with a watertight verification process. Most of the de- fault settings are sanity checked, but this does not mean that every problem is discovered, or that everything that is reported as a possi- ble problem actually is one. This tool should thus be used with some care. It should warn about obsolete data, or bad practice, but currently doesn't. HEIMDAL December 8, 2004 VERIFY_KRB5_CONF(8)
