NSTRSCHED(5) -- number of STREAMS scheduler daemons to run
|
|
This tunable defines the number of multiprocessor (MP) STREAMS scheduler daemons to run on systems containing more than one processor. Note that uniprocessor (UP) systems do not use an MP scheduler daemon, but both MP and UP systems always have one UP STREAMS scheduler (supsched). If the tunable value is set to zero, the system determines how many daemons to run, based on the number of processors ... |

nstrtel(5) -- specifies the number of telnet device files the kernel can support for incoming telnet sessions
|
|
The telnet daemon uses two STREAMS-based pseudo-terminal drivers (telm and tels). The kernel parameter, nstrtel, can be used to tune the number of pseudo-terminals. nstrtel specifies the number of kernel data structures that are created at system boot time that are required to support the device files used by incoming telnet sessions on a server. If the insf command or SAM is used to create more t... |

nswapdev(5) -- maximum number of devices that can be enabled for swap
|
|
Swap devices are managed in a table for easier indexing in the kernel. nswapdev sets the kernel variable responsible for the upper limit on this table, and thus the upper limit to devices which can be used for swap. Who is Expected to Change This Tunable? Anyone. |
|
nswapfs(5) -- maximum number of file systems that can be enabled for swap
|
|
File system swap devices are managed in a table for easier indexing in the kernel. nswapfs sets the kernel variable responsible for the upper limit on this table, and thus the upper limit to file systems which can be used for swap. Who is Expected to Change This Tunable? Anyone. |

nsysmap(5) -- number of entries in a kernel dynamic memory allocation map
|
|
This value sizes the kernel dynamic memory resource map, an array of address/length pairs that describe the free virtual space in the kernel's dynamic address space. This array has historically been statically-sized. That means certain pathological workloads that fragment the kernel address space will result in too many entries for the array. Rather than panicking when this condition occurs, the ... |

orientation(5) -- the orientation of a stream
|
|
The orientation of a stream is a property of a FILE object that is handled as a input/output stream. It is useful when the input/output model assumes that characters are handled as wide-characters within an application and stored as multi-byte characters in files, and that all the wide-character input/output functions begin executing with the stream positioned at the boundary between two multi-byt... |

pagezero_daemon_enabled(5) -- zeroing of free memory in the background is enabled
|
|
HP-UX provides improved security by zeroing out any memory that is being assigned to user space. This ensures that no user can read what may have been written by some other user. Normally, the zeroing is done when the physical page is allocated to the user -- often when the application touches the page for the first time. Some system calls like mlock() also result in the zeroing of pages. The time... |

pam_dce(5) -- authentication, account, and password management PAM functions for DCE
|
|
The DCE PAM modules allow integration of DCE into the system entry services (such as login, telnet, rlogin, ftp) through the pam.conf(4) file. The DCE service module for PAM consists of the following three modules: the authentication module, the account management module, and the password management module. All three modules are supported through the same loadable library, /usr/lib/security/libpam... |
|
pam_hpsec(5) -- extended authentication, account, password, and session
|
|
The pam_hpsec service module implements extensions specific to HP-UX for authentication, account management, password management, and session management. The use of pam_hpsec is mandatory for services like login, dtlogin, ftp, remsh/rexec and ssh. It is required that these services stack this module on the top of the stack above one or more non-optional modules such as pam_unix, pam_krb5, or pam_l... |
|
pam_krb5(5) -- authentication, account, session and password management modules for Kerberos 5
|
|
The KRB5 PAM modules allow integration of Kerberos authentication into the system entry services (such as login, ftp) using pam.conf(4) configuration file. The Kerberos service module for PAM consists of the following four modules: Authentication module, Account management module, Session management module and Password management module. All modules are supported through the same dynamically loada... |
|
pam_unix(5) -- authentication, account, session, and password management PAM modules for UNIX
|
|
The UNIX service module for PAM, /usr/lib/security/$ISA/libpam_unix.so.1, provides functionality for all four PAM modules: authentication, account management, session management and password management. The libpam_unix.so.1 module is a shared object that can be dynamically loaded to provide the necessary functionality upon demand. For an interpretation of the module path, please refer to the relat... |
|
pam_updbe(5) -- User policy definition service module
|
|
The user policy definition service module for PAM, /usr/lib/security/$ISA/libpam_updbe.so.1, reads options defined in the user configuration file, /etc/pam_user.conf (see pam_user.conf(4)) and uses pam_set_data (see pam_set_data(3)) to store the information in the pam handle for subsequent service modules to use. Service modules perform pam_get_data to retrieve corresponding information from the p... |
