ifconfig_selinux – Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the ifconfig processes Description Security-Enhanced Linux secures the ifconfig processes via flexible mandatory access control. The ifconfig processes execute with the ifconfig_t SELinux type. You can check if you have these processes running by executing the ps command with the -Z qualifier. For example: ps -eZ | grep…
ifconfig – configure a network interface Synopsis ifconfig [-v] [-a] [-s] [interface] ifconfig [-v] interface [aftype] options | address … Description Ifconfig is used to configure the kernel-resident network interfaces. It is used at boot time to set up interfaces as necessary. After that, it is usually only needed when debugging or when system tuning…
ifcfg – simplistic script which replaces ifconfig IP management Synopsis ifcfg [ DEVICE ] [ command ] ADDRESS [ PEER ] Description This manual page documents briefly the ifcfg command. This is a simplistic script replacing one option of ifconfig , namely, IP address management. It not only adds addresses, but also carries out Duplicate…

idmapwb.so – winbind ID mapping plugin for cifs-utils Description This plugin allows the utilities in cifs-utils to work in conjuction with the winbind facility of Samba suite. It handles several functions including mapping UID and GID to SIDs and vice versa. Utilities are usually configured to use the correct plugin by creating a symlink at…
rpc.idmapd – NFSv4 ID <-> Name Mapper Synopsis rpc.idmapd [-h ] [-f ] [-v ] [-C ] [-S ] [-p path ] [-c path ] Description rpc.idmapd is the NFSv4 ID <-> name mapping daemon. It provides functionality to the NFSv4 kernel client and server, to which it communicates via upcalls, by translating user and…
idmap_tdb2 – Samba’s idmap_tdb2 Backend for Winbind Description The idmap_tdb2 plugin is a substitute for the default idmap_tdb backend used by winbindd for storing SID/uid/gid mapping tables in clustered environments with Samba and CTDB. In contrast to read only backends like idmap_rid, it is an allocating backend: This means that it needs to allocate new…
idmap_tdb – Samba’s idmap_tdb Backend for Winbind Description The idmap_tdb plugin is the default backend used by winbindd for storing SID/uid/gid mapping tables. In contrast to read only backends like idmap_rid, it is an allocating backend: This means that it needs to allocate new user and group IDs in order to create new mappings. Idmap…
idmap_sss – SSSSD’s idmap_sss Backend for Winbind Description The idmap_sss module provides a way to call SSSD to map UIDs/GIDs and SIDs. No database is required in this case as the mapping is done by SSSD. Idmap Options range = low – high Defines the available matching uid and gid range for which the backend…
idmap_script – Samba’s idmap_script Backend for Winbind Description The idmap_script plugin is a substitute for the idmap_tdb2 backend used by winbindd for storing SID/uid/gid mapping tables in clustered environments with Samba and CTDB. It is a read only backend that uses a script to perform mapping. It was developed out of the idmap_tdb2 back end…
idmap_rid – Samba’s idmap_rid Backend for Winbind Description The idmap_rid backend provides a way to use an algorithmic mapping scheme to map UIDs/GIDs and SIDs. No database is required in this case as the mapping is deterministic. Note that the idmap_rid module has changed considerably since Samba versions 3.0. and 3.2. Currently, there should to…
