<title>Description</title>
<para>The <replaceable>AuthLog.dir</replaceable> and <replaceable>AuthLog.pag</replaceable> files record a trace of privileged
operations performed by the Authentication Server (<emphasis role="bold">kaserver</emphasis> process) on
the local machine. If the files do not exist when the Authentication
Server starts, it creates them in the <replaceable>/usr/afs/logs</replaceable> directory as
necessary.</para>
<para>The files are in binary format. To display their contents, use the <emphasis role="bold">kdb</emphasis>
command, which requires being logged in to the local machine as the local
superuser <computeroutput>root</computeroutput>.</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>Cautions</title>
<para>The Authentication Server is possibly unable to create these files on some
operating systems that AFS otherwise supports, making the <emphasis role="bold">kdb</emphasis> command
inoperative. See the <emphasis>IBM AFS Release Notes</emphasis> for details.</para>
