System default files

/etc/default/privcmds

This file contains parameters whose values affect the generation and validation of checksums by the filepriv(1M) and initprivs(1M) commands, respectively:

GEN_CKSUM
If the value of this parameter is No, then the filepriv command will not generate a checksum value for the Privilege Data File (PDF) located in /etc/security/tcb/privs; this results in faster performance compared to generating the checksum value each time the command is run. If the value of this parameter is anything other than No (including NULL, the default), then the filepriv command generates a checksum each time it is run.

VAL_CKSUM
If the value of this parameter is No, then the initprivs command will not validate the checksum value stored in the Privilege Data File (PDF) located in /etc/security/tcb/privs; this results in faster performance compared to validating the checksum value each time the command is run. If the value of this parameter is anything other than No (including NULL, the default), then the initprivs command validates the checksum each time it is run.
