KPROPLOG(8) Maintenance Procedures KPROPLOG(8)

NAME

kproplog - display the contents of the Kerberos principal update log

SYNOPSIS

/usr/sbin/kproplog [-h | -e num]

DESCRIPTION

The kproplog displays the contents of the Kerberos principal update log
to standard output. This command can be used to keep track of the
incremental updates to the principal database, which is enabled by
default. The /var/krb5/principal.ulog file contains the update log
maintained by the kadmind(8) process on the master KDC server and the
kpropd(8) process on the slave KDC servers. When updates occur, they are
logged to this file. Subsequently any KDC slave configured for
incremental updates will request the current data from the master KDC and
update their principal.ulog file with any updates returned.

The kproplog command can only be run on a KDC server by someone with
privileges comparable to the superuser. It will display update entries
for that server only.

If no options are specified, the summary of the update log is displayed.
If invoked on the master, all of the update entries are also displayed.
When invoked on a slave KDC server, only a summary of the updates are
displayed, which includes the serial number of the last update received
and the associated time stamp of the last update.

OPTIONS

The following options are supported:

-h
Display a summary of the update log. This information includes
the database version number, state of the database, the number
of updates in the log, the time stamp of the first and last
update, and the version number of the first and last update
entry.

-e num
Display the last num update entries in the log. This is useful
when debugging synchronization between KDC servers.

-v
Display individual attributes per update. An example of the
