.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm verify_krb5_conf
|
|
.Nd checks krb5.conf for obvious errors
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Nm
|
|
.Ar [config-file]
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm
|
|
reads the configuration file
|
|
.Pa krb5.conf ,
|
|
or the file given on the command line,
|
|
and parses it, thereby verifying that the syntax is not correctly wrong.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the file is syntactically correct,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
tries to verify that the contents of the file is of relevant nature.
|
|
.Sh ENVIRONMENT
|
|
.Ev KRB5_CONFIG
|
|
points to the configuration file to read.
|
|
.Sh FILES
|
|
.Bl -tag -width /etc/krb5.conf -compact
|
|
.It Pa /etc/krb5.conf
|
|
Kerberos 5 configuration file
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
|
|
Possible output from
|
|
.Nm
|
|
include:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width "<path>"
|
|
.It "<path>: failed to parse <something> as size/time/number/boolean"
|
|
Usually means that <something> is misspelled, or that it contains
|
|
weird characters. The parsing done by
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is more strict than the one performed by libkrb5, and so strings that
|
|
work in real life, might be reported as bad.
|
|
.It "<path>: host not found (<hostname>)"
|
|
Means that <path> is supposed to point to a host, but it can't be
|
|
recognised as one.
|
|
.It <path>: unknown or wrong type
|
|
Means that <path> is either is a string when it should be a list, vice
|
|
versa, or just that
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is confused.
|
|
.It <path>: unknown entry
|
|
Means that <string> is not known by
|
|
.Nm .

|

.Sh SEE ALSO

|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
Since each application can put almost anything in the config file,
|
|
it's hard to come up with a water tight verification process. Most of
|
|
the default settings are sanity checked, but this does not mean that
|
|
every problem is discovered, or that everything that is reported as a
|
|
possible problem actually is one. This tool should thus be used with
|
|
some care.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
It should warn about obsolete data, or bad practice, but currently
|
|
doesn't.
