seload Utility—Load and Start CA ControlMinder

Valid on UNIX

The seload utility loads the CA ControlMinder extension to the UNIX kernel and starts the CA ControlMinder daemons. The seload utility loads CA ControlMinder daemons locally and remotely. It also determines whether the CA ControlMinder extension to the UNIX kernel is loaded on the specified host. If seosd is not running, seload starts the daemon on the specified host. If you omit the ‑r switch and parameter, the seosd daemon runs on the local host.

You can instruct seload to load one of the following daemons on the remote host: seosd, selogrd, selogrcd, or serevu. This process depends on the tokens.

Use seload if CA ControlMinder is placed in the boot sequence of the server station.

Notes:

• When CA ControlMinder is installed, sample initialization files for every operating system supported by CA ControlMinder are placed in the ACInstallDir/samples/system.init directory. Use these files if CA ControlMinder is to be started as part of the system initialization.
• The seload utility requires that the executable se_loadtest be located in ACInstallDir/lbin (where ACInstallDir is the installation directory). This program determines whether the CA ControlMinder extension to the UNIX kernel is loaded.
• When working remotely, the seload utility requires the following:
  • The executable rseloadd is located in CA ControlMinder dir/lbin. This program runs on the remote host and activates seload.
  • The file /etc/services contains seosload service. You should add this file during CA ControlMinder installation.
  • The file /etc/inetd.conf contains the rseloadd program. You can add this program during CA ControlMinder installation.

This command has the following format:

seload [-c] [-nopmd]  [-r host [daemon]]

‑c

Changes the encryption key that was set using the sechkey ‑r command.

‑nopmd

If you specify the ‑c switch with the ‑nopmd switch, seload does not update the Policy Model update file with the new key.

‑r host [daemon]

Loads the seosd daemons, and any other daemon specified in the [daemons] section of the seos.ini file.

If you specify a daemon, seload starts only that daemon; it ignores the seos.ini token. You must supply with the daemon's full path.

The seos.ini token in the [daemons] section is used only if you specify a value. It has no default value. If you do specify a value, seload substitutes the value in the token for the standard values of the specified utility or program. For example, if you specify the value selogrd=yes, seload automatically starts the selogrd daemon after it starts the seosd daemon.
