 NAME    [Toc]    [Back]
      waconf - display and configure web administration tool

 SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]
      Path:   /usr/sbin

      waconf

      waconf [-a {on|off}]

 DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]
      The waconf command configures the behavior of the web administration
      server use by the kcweb and pdweb commands.

      If no options are specified, waconf displays the current
      configuration.

      Only the superuser can change the configuration.

    Options    [Toc]    [Back]
      The waconf command supports the following option:

      -a  {on|off}   Enable or disable the autostart mechanism.

      The autostart option is configured by editing /etc/inetd.conf and
      /etc/services.

      If NIS is enabled, the local /etc/services file may be ignored.  Add
      or modify the line "services: nis files" in the file
      /etc/nsswitch.conf to allow the local /etc/services file to be read.
      It is also possible to add the "webadmstart" service on the NIS
      server.  If /etc/nsswitch.conf does not exist the default is to read
      the /etc/services only if NIS is down.

      Firewalls, both in the computer and in the network, can keep the
      autostart and the web administration tools from working.

 RETURN VALUES    [Toc]    [Back]
      The waconf command returns

      0    upon successful completion

      1    if the command failed

 EXAMPLES    [Toc]    [Back]
      Enable autostart:

           waconf -a on

           /etc/inetd.conf and /etc/services have been edited to allow
           web administration tools to be autostarted using port 1110.

           If NIS is in use you may need to edit /etc/nsswitch.conf or
           change the configuration of the NIS server for the new webadmstart
           service to work.

           Network firewalls can also keep autostart from working.    [Toc]    [Back]
