HP Serviceguard for Linux Version A.11.16 Release Notes, Third Edition, August 2006

Serviceguard for Linux Version A.11.16 Release Notes
What’s New in A.11.16
Chapter 110
Enhanced Security
Serviceguard now uses the pidentd daemon to enhance security. The
pidentd daemon is installed as part of the Serviceguard product
installation process. The white paper Securing Serviceguard, October
2004, available in the Serviceguard section of http://docs.hp.com,
describes these enhancements in greater detail.
Disabling Security
It is possible to disable the security features.
CAUTION HP does not recommend disabling the Serviceguard security features in
A.11.16.01 and higher, as they are important to maintaining the
integrity and high availability of your data.
NOTE To disable the Serviceguard security features, do the following steps on
each node after installing Serviceguard A.11.16 but before having each
node re-join the cluster (e.g. before issuing a cmrunnode or cmruncl).
