cfgmgr.auth(4)
NAME
  cfgmgr.auth - Configuration management server authorization database

SYNOPSIS
  /etc/cfgmgr.auth

DESCRIPTION
  The cfgmgr.auth file lists the remote systems that are authorized to modify
  the local system's kernel subsystem configuration.  Using the sysconfig
  command, system administrators can maintain the kernel subsystem
  configuration on local and remote hosts.  To secure access to the kernel
  subsystem configuration, the local configuration management server (cfgmgr)
  answers requests from remote systems only when the remote system is listed
  in the cfgmgr.auth file.

  Each entry in the file has the following form:

  host-name

  Where host-name specifies the full domain name of the remote host.  You
  must list each remote host on a separate line and only the first 128
  characters of each line are read and processed. Lines beginning with the
  pound sign (#) are comments.

  If the cfgmgr.auth file does not exist, the configuration management server
  assumes no remote system administrators are allowed to configure,
  reconfigure, or unconfigure any kernel subsystem on the local host.

EXAMPLES
  The following shows entries in the cfgmgr.auth file on a host named buster:

  salmon.zk3.dec.com
  trout.zk3.dec.com
  bluefish.zk3.dec.com

  This cfgmgr.auth file allows system administrators on the salmon, trout,
  and bluefish hosts to configure, reconfigure, and unconfigure subsystems on
  buster.
