NAME
auth2 - Coda authentication server
SYNOPSIS
auth2 [ -r ] [ -chk ] [ -x debuglevel ] [ -p passwordfile ] [ -tk
tokenkey ] [ -fk filekey ]
DESCRIPTION
auth2 is the Coda authentication server. Clients need to have an
authentication token from auth2 in(1,8) order to establish authenticated
connections to Coda file(1,n) servers.
auth2 supports the following commands line options:
-r Tells auth2 to print log entries to the controlling tty(1,4) rather
than a log file.
-chk Causes auth2 to only validate passwords. New password entries
cannot be added via this server instance. Servers started with
the -chk option are slave servers. There should only be one mas-
ter(5,8) server (SCM) in(1,8) the system.
-x Sets the server debuglevel. This level controls the amount of
debugging information printed by the server.
-p Used to tell auth2 where its password file(1,n) is. Typically this
file(1,n) is /vice/db/auth2.pw.
-tk Specifies where the tokenkey file(1,n) is found which auth2 should
use when encrypting tokens. Normally this file(1,n) is
/vice/db/auth2.tk
-fk Name of file(1,n) containing the key to decrypt the password file(1,n)
with.
