 NAME    [Toc]    [Back]
      ttsyncd - Daemon to maintain the nis+ password table in sync with the
      nis+ trusted table.

 SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]
      /usr/lbin/ttsyncd [-D] [-v] [-t synchour] [-i interval]

 DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]
      ttsyncd checks that each login name in the nis+ password (passwd)
      table appears in the nis+ trusted table.  It will create a user entry
      in the trusted table for every user that exists in the password table
      and NOT in the trusted table.  Each nis+ user can potentially log in
      to an HP trusted system; thus, ttsyncd aids trusted systems by
      creating an entry in the trusted table before the nis+ user logs in.
      In turn, the system administrator can modify global security
      attributes for each nis+ user before they log in to a trusted system
      that is part of the nis+ namespace.

    Options    [Toc]    [Back]
      ttsyncd recognizes the following options:

           -D      Used for debugging ttsyncd.  All output will go to the
                   screen as well as the syslog.

           -v      Verbose mode used for debugging ttsyncd.

           -t      Initial daily sync time. The time is in military hour (0
                   through 23).  For example,

                   -t10      sync time is 10 a.m

                   -t23      sync time is 11 p.m

                   -t0       midnight

                   default   sync once next sync at midnight

           -i      Sync interval. This value is allowed from 0 through 23.
                   This is only in hours. For example,

                   -i0       sync continuously (see note below)

                   -i4       sync every 4 hours

                   -i20      sync every 20 hours

                   default   sync 24 hours

 DIAGNOSTICS    [Toc]    [Back]
      If it is desired to administer Trusted mode centrally within a nis+
      namespace, ttsyncd should be running on every HP nis+ server.

      Furthermore, ttsyncd can be started automatically at boot time by
      setting TTSYNCD=1 in /etc/rc.config.d/comsec.  Additionally, ttsyncd
      will run only on a nis+ server (root or master) and only if nis+ is up
      and running.

 EXAMPLES    [Toc]    [Back]
    Command format
      Initial sync time at midnight and sync every 2 hours.

           /usr/lbin/ttsyncd -t0 -i2

      Initial sync time at 10 a.m and sync every 2 hours.

           /usr/lbin/ttsyncd -t10 -i2

      Initial sync time at midnight and sync every 4 hours.

           /usr/lbin/ttsyncd -i4

      Sync only at midnight.

           /usr/lbin/ttsyncd

      Continuously sync starting at midnight.

           /usr/lbin/ttsyncd -i0

 NOTE    [Toc]    [Back]
      If interval -i0 is given, ttsyncd will keep checking the passwd table
      for change. If there is any change in the passwd table then it will do
      a sync. This is useful when trusted table needs to be sync'ed as soon
      passwd table is modified. The drawback is it will consume CPU time for
      checking the passwd table.

 DEPENDENCIES    [Toc]    [Back]
    NIS+ (Network Information Name Service)
      ttsyncd requires NIS+ to be configured and running.  It should be run
      only on an nis+ server.  Moreover, ttsyncd will self-terminate if the
      password table does not exist.
