AuthLog.dir, AuthLog.pag

Purpose

Records privileged operations performed by the Authentication Server

Description

The AuthLog.dir and AuthLog.pag files record a trace of privileged operations performed by the Authentication Server (kaserver process) on the local machine. If the files do not exist when the Authentication Server starts, it creates them in the /usr/afs/logs directory as necessary.

The files are in binary format. To display their contents, use the kdb command, which requires being logged in to the local machine as the local superuser root.

Cautions

The Authentication Server is possibly unable to create these files on some operating systems that AFS otherwise supports, making the kdb command inoperative. See the IBM AFS Release Notes for details.
