Displays configuration information about a client host.

Privilege Manager for Unix remote file copy command.

Privilege Manager for Unix C Shell provides transparent authorization and auditing for all commands submitted during the shell session.

Used by pmsrvconfig script on the primary server only. When configuring a primary server in pmpolicy type, if you do not have a policy file to import into the repository, then pmincludecheck initializes the policy from the current set of default policy files provided in the installation.

Registers the local host with the Privilege Manager for Unix 5.5 policy server.

Note that pminfo is obsolete as of version 5.6 and is included for backwards compatibility only.

Configures a Privilege Manager for Unix agent to communicate with the servers in the group.

Generates and installs configurable certificates.

Privilege Manager for Unix K Shell provides transparent authorization and auditing for all commands submitted during the shell session.

A terminal pager program that allows you to view (by not modify) the contents of a text file one screen at a time.

Displays current license information and allows you to update a license (an expired one or a temporary one before it expires) or create a new one.

The Privilege Manager for Unix Local daemon which runs programs when instructed to do so by the appropriate policy server daemon.

Displays entries in a Privilege Manager for Unix event log.

Manages encryption options on the event log.

Searches all logs in a policy group based on specified criteria.

pmlogsrvd

The Privilege Manager for Unix log access daemon, the service responsible for committing events to the Privilege Manager for Unix event log and managing the database storage used by the event log.

The Privilege Manager for Unix Master daemon which examines each user request and either accepts or rejects it based upon information in the Privilege Manager configuration file. You can have multiple pmmasterd daemons on the network to avoid having a single point of failure.

A special version of an emacs text editor to use with Privilege Manager for Unix (gnu-style key bindings).

Generates an encrypted password which can be used in the configuration file.

Displays the Privilege Manager for Unix system ID.

The Privilege Manager for Unix Tunnel daemon that acts as a proxy for pmrun when pmlocald communicates with pmrun through a firewall.
