Propagation Tools
The kpropd daemon manages and performs propagation of the principal
database on each server in the propagation hierarchy. It uses the
following local files:
• prop_q
A default propagation input queue file that contains the names of
every principal whose record has changed since the last successful
database propagation.
• prop_q.wrk
A temporary working copy of prop_q, the default propagation input
queue file.
• prop_hostname
An ASCII cache file created on the propagating security server when
the host name of the security server is unavailable during the
principal database propagation cycle. The file contains principal
records that were not propagated from the prop_q file to the
receiving server.
• prop_hostname.ok
An empty file created on the propagating security server after a
successful propagation to the host name security server.
These files are critical and you must not compromise them under any
circumstances.
Table 9-1 describes the propagation configuration tools.
