3AuthLog.dir, AuthLog.pag - Log of Authentication Server privileged operations
4
5=head1 DESCRIPTION
6
7The F<AuthLog.dir> and F<AuthLog.pag> files record a trace of privileged
8operations performed by the Authentication Server (B<kaserver> process) on
9the local machine. If the files do not exist when the Authentication
10Server starts, it creates them in the F</usr/afs/logs> directory as
11necessary.
12
13The files are in binary format. To display their contents, use the B<kdb>
14command, which requires being logged in to the local machine as the local
15superuser C<root>.
16
17=head1 CAUTIONS
18
19The Authentication Server is obsolete and is provided only for sites that
20need to use it while preparing for a migration to Kerberos KDC. It will be
21removed in a future version of OpenAFS.
22
23The Authentication Server is possibly unable to create these files on some
24operating systems that AFS otherwise supports, making the B<kdb> command
25inoperative.
