 NAME    [Toc]    [Back]
      ilogind - Interface for libpam_dce.sl and libnss_dce.sl with DCE

 Description    [Toc]    [Back]
      ilogind is an interface daemon for libpma_dce.sl (see pam_dce(5)),and
      libnss_dce.sl with DCE (/opt/dce/sbin/ilogind).

      ilogind starts up when integrated login is activated using the
      auth.adm utility. See auth.adm(5).

      For the services in /etc/pam.conf file that have libpam_dce.sl as the
      module to provide any of the authentication, account, management,
      session and password services libpam_dce.sl sends the requests to
      ilogind which in turn interacts with DCE and services the requests.
      The results of these requests are returned to libpam_dce.sl.

      ilogind services the name service requests specified in
      /etc/nsswitch.conf.  If dce is one of the repository databases for
      passwd and/or group entries then, libnss_dce.sl services the
      corresponding name type requests (all calls to getgr*, getpw*).
      libnss_dce.sl sends the name type requests to ilogind which in turn
      calls the DCE registry APIs to get them serviced and returns the
      result back to libnss_dce.sl

      A file named DEBUG can be created in the /var/adm/ilogin directory
      with the setuid bit set, for debugging purposes. So, if ilogind dumps
      core, it can be located in /var/adm/ilogin.

 ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES    [Toc]    [Back]
      ILOGIN_CACHE_LIMIT can be used to set the cache limit. The default
      value for this variable is 256.

      NSSDCE_CACHE_TSTALE specifies the life of the password/group entry,
      which is 60 seconds.

 WARNING    [Toc]    [Back]
      In unix, for any getgrgid()/getgrnam() calls, if the length of each
      line in /etc/group file exceeds the limit specified by LINE_MAX, it
      will return a NULL value. Refer group(4) for more details. However,
      DCE will return a valid entry with members upto the size specified by
      the return value of sysconf(_SC_GETGR_R_SIZE_MAX).  This value is
      analogous to the LINE_MAX value. In case of
      /etc/opt/dce/group_override file, the number of members in a group are
      limited to 50. Members exceeding the count 50 will be discarded. Also,
      entries with duplicate group names are not supported in the override
      file.
