For each command only useful with the Authentication Server, add warnings that the Authentication Server is obsolete and will be removed in a future version of OpenAFS. Encourage people who care to update uss to work with a modern Kerberos KDC, recommend kinit and aklog or klog.krb5 over klog, and warn that klog will be of limited use without an Authentication Server.

AuthLog - Traces Authentication Server operations
|
|
|
|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
The F<AuthLog> file records a trace of Authentication Server (B<kaserver>
|
|
process) operations on the local machine and describes any error
|
|
conditions it encounters.
|
|
|
|
If the F<AuthLog> file does not exist in the F</usr/afs/logs> directory
|
|
when the Authentication Server starts, the server process creates it and
|
|
writes initial start-up messages to it. If there is an existing file, the
|
|
Authentication Server renames it to F<AuthLog.old>, overwriting the
|
|
existing F<AuthLog.old> file if it exists.
|
|
|
|
The file is in ASCII format. Administrators listed in the
|
|
F</usr/afs/etc/UserList> file can use the B<bos getlog> command to display
|
|
its contents. Alternatively, log onto the server machine and use a text
|
|
editor or a file display command such as the UNIX B<cat> command. By
|
|
default, the mode bits on the F<AuthLog> file grant the required C<r>
|
|
(read) permission to all users.
|
|
|
|
The Authentication Server records operations only as it completes them,
|
|
and cannot recover from failures by reviewing the file. The log contents
|
|
are useful for administrative evaluation of process failures and other
|
|
problems.
|
|
|
|
=head1 CAUTIONS
|
|
|
|
The Authentication Server is obsolete and is provided only for sites that
|
|
need to use it while preparing for a migration to Kerberos KDC. It will be
|
|
removed in a future version of OpenAFS.
