Description
Transfers event logs and I/O logs after an off-line policy evaluation has occurred. pmlogxfer is initiated by pmloadcheck when there are log files queued for transfer from a Sudo Plugin host to the server.
Note that pmlogxfer is not intended to be run directly, it is normally invoked by pmpluginloadcheck at a regular interval (every 30 minutes by default).
Options
pmlogxfer has the following options.
Table 31: Options: pmlogxfer
|
-h |
Displays usage information. |
|
-v |
Displays the version number of Safeguard for Sudo and exits. |
Files
Directory for offline log files:

Syntax
pmmasterd [ -v ]| [ [ -ars ] [ -e <logfile> ] ]
Description
The Safeguard for Sudo master daemon (pmmasterd) is the policy server decision-maker. pmmasterd receives requests from pmrun or the Sudo Plugin and evaluates them according to the security policy. If the request is accepted, pmmasterd asks pmlocald or the Sudo Plugin to run the request in a controlled account such as root.
A connection is maintained between pmmasterd and the Sudo Plugin for the duration of the session. This also occurs between pmmasterd and pmlocald, if keystroke logging is enabled. When the pmmasterd connection is maintained throughout the session, keystroke and event log data is forwarded on this connection.
If keystroke logging is not enabled, pmlocald reconnects to pmmasterd at the end of the session to write the event log record showing the final completion code for the command run by pmlocald. If pmlocald is unable to reconnect, it writes instead to a holding file, pm.eventhold.hostname. It then attempts to write the pmevents.db record to the host the next time pmmasterd connects to pmlocald. Multiple files can accrue and they will all be delivered to the proper host when the connection is restored.
The policy server master daemon typically resides on a secure machine. You can have more than one policy server master daemon on different hosts for redundancy or to serve multiple networks.
pmmasterd logs all errors in a log file if you specify the -e filename option.
Options
pmmasterd has the following options.

Syntax
pmplugininfo -v | -c [-h <host>]
Description
Run the pmplugininfo command on a Sudo Plugin host to display information about the policy server group that the host has joined.
Options
pmplugininfo has the following options.
Table 33: Options: pmplugininfo
|
-c |
Displays output in CSV, rather than human-readable format. |
|
-h <hostname> |
Specifies the hostname to interrogate for policy group information. |
|
-v |
Displays product version and exits. |
Examples
The following is an example of the human-readable output:
Joined to a policy group : YES
Name of policy group : adminGroup1
Hostname of primary policy server : adminhost1
Syntax
pmpluginloadcheck -v
-s|-p|-i [-e <interval>][-t <sec>]
[-c|-f][-b][ -h <master>][-t <sec>] [-a][-r]
Description
The pmpluginloadcheck daemon runs on each Sudo Plugin host and controls load balancing and failover for connections made from the host to the configured policy servers. It runs as a daemon, and is started as needed to verify the status of the configured policy servers.
Information is gathered from a policy server each time a normal sudo session connects to the policy server. This information is used to determine which policy server to use the next time a session is requested. If a host cannot establish a connection to a policy server because, for example, the policy server is offline, then this policy server is marked as offline and no more connections are submitted to this policy server until it is available again. For each policy server that is marked as offline, the pmpluginloadcheck daemon checks at intervals, and attempts to establish a connection with the policy server to determine its current status. If pmpluginloadcheck successfully establishes a session with the policy server, it is marked as online and is made available for normal sudo sessions.
To check the current status of all configured policy servers and display a brief summary of their status, run pmpluginloadcheck with no options. Add the -f option to show full details of each policy server status.
Options
pmpluginloadcheck has the following options.
Table 34: Options: pmpluginloadcheck
