Table 16-1. Safeguard Subsystem Command Summary
Command Description
STOP
SAFEGUARD
Disables Safeguard authorization checks and access auditing for all local
protected objects. The security string for all protected disk files is ****, and
those files are accessible only to the primary owner, the owner’s group
manager, and the super ID while Safeguard is stopped. Other system
objects are unprotected. Only members of the SECURITY-
ADMINISTRATOR security group can issue this command. If the
SECURITY-ADMINISTRATOR group does not exist, only by the super ID
the STOP SAFEGUARD command can be issued. If the Safeguard
software is included with system generation, it cannot be stopped with the
STOP command.
INFO
SAFEGUARD
Displays the current global configuration attributes. Any user (local or
remote) can issue this command.
ALTER
SAFEGUARD
Changes the current global configuration attributes. Only members of the
SECURITY-ADMINISTRATOR security group can issue this command. If
the SECURITY-ADMINISTRATOR group does not exist, only local super-
group members can issue the STOP SAFEGUARD command. If that
security group has not been defined, only local super-group members can
use the ALTER SAFEGUARD command.
Note. For backward compatibility, the Safeguard software accepts but ignores a START
SAFEGUARD command. In some previous Safeguard product versions, this command was
necessary to fully enable the Safeguard software.
