Customizing the system for IBM-supplied daemons

z/OS UNIX System Services Planning
GA32-0884-00

z/OS UNIX supplies these daemons:
  • inetd—the network daemon
  • rlogind—the remote login daemon
  • cron—the clock daemon
  • uucpd—the UUCP daemon

The syslogd daemon, which is used to route messages, is shipped with TCP/IP and is documented in their library.

Rules:
  • If you are defining BPX.DAEMON for a higher level of security, you need to customize the system for IBM-supplied daemons. Many daemons require BPX.DAEMON authority and must have all modules loaded in their address spaces identified as being defined to program control.
  • All modules loaded from LPA are considered to be controlled.
