STOP SAFEGUARD Command
STOP SAFEGUARD Command
STOP SAFEGUARD stops each SMON process, each SHP and the SMP pair. The
command also stops an event-exit process if one is running. After these processes are
stopped, disk files that have Safeguard protection can be accessed only by the primary
owner, the owner’s group manager, and the super ID. Attempts to access other system
objects are subject only to access controls provided by the standard Guardian security
system.
Only members of the SECURITY-ADMINISTRATOR security group can use the STOP
SAFEGUARD command. If that group has not been defined, only the local super ID
can use the STOP SAFEGUARD command.
To restart the Safeguard software, you must start the SMP as described the Safeguard
Administrator’s Manual.
disables Safeguard authorization checks and access auditing for all local protected
objects and stops all SMON, all SHP, and SMP processes in the local system.
Considerations
Disk file security following a STOP SAFEGUARD command
After the execution of the ST
OP SAFEGUARD command, each disk file that was
under Safeguard control becomes accessible only to the primary owner, the
owner’s group manager, and the super ID. If it is necessary to reestablish Guardian
security for these files, the super ID can do so by using FUP SECURE.
Volume and subvolume security following a STOP SAFEGUARD command
After the execution of the ST
OP SAFEGUARD command, any user can create a
disk file on any subvolume in the system.
Device security following a STOP SAFEGUARD command
Following the execution of the ST
OP SAFEGUARD command, any user can
access any device attached to the system.
Named-process security following a STOP SAFEGUARD command
Note. If the Safeguard software has been included as part of the operating system during
system generation, the STOP SAFEGUARD command is accepted but ignored. In this case,
the Safeguard software cannot be disabled while the system is operational.
STOP [ SAFEGUARD ]
Note. A global attribute PROMPT-BEFORE-STOP on page 16-29, is supported on systems
running on J06.16 and later J-series RVUs, and H06.27 and later H-series RVUs. If the
att
ribute value is ON, a confirmation message is displayed to the user when the STOP
command is issued at the SAFECOM prompt. This attribute is part of the global Safeguard
configuration which can be set from SAFECOM, and has default value as OFF.
