Description
The GetPWSS utility is a freeware tool from GreenHouse Software &
Consulting. It collects the security attributes of all PATHWAY
systems on a given set of EXPANDed systems, and displays it to the
user, or writes the findings into a file.
Restriction: User-ID translations are performed on that system, on
which GETPWSS is running!
In case a remote ID is unknown to GETPWSS, the ID is NOT
translated into a name at all.
General: All PATHWAY configuration files such as:
- PATHCTL
- cold start file
- cool start file
- shutdown file
should be owned by the PAID of the PATHMON process and
secured to "OOOO", or the equivalent SAFEGUARD ACL.
