rpasswd.conf(5)
NAME
/etc/rpasswd.conf - configuration file for remote password
update client
DESCRIPTION
The file /etc/rpasswd.conf is read from rpasswd(1) at
startup to determine the name and port number of the
server where rpasswdd(8) is running. Valid entries are
- server hostname
- The rpasswdd(8) daemon is running on server host_ name.
- port number
- The rpasswdd(8) daemon is listening on port number.
The default port number is 774, which is defined as
rpasswd in /etc/services. - reqcert never|allow|try|hard
- Specifies what checks to perform on server certifi
cates in a SSL session. The default for this option
is hard. - never rpasswd will not request or check any server
certificate.
- allow The server certificate is requested. If no
certificate is provided, the session pro
ceeds normally. If a bad certificate is pro
vided, a warning will be shown but the ses
sion proceeds normally. - try The server certificate is requested. If no
certificate is provided, the session pro
ceeds normally. If a bad certificate is pro
vided, the session is immediately termi
nated. - hard The server certificate is requested. If no
or a bad certificate is provided, the ses
sion is immediately terminated.
EXAMPLE
# rpasswdd runs on master.example.com
server master.example.com
port 774
reqcert allow
BUGS
The service rpasswd on port 774 in /etc/services is not
registerd for this program, only misused. It could be that
there is another daemon already running on this port, but
I couldn't find any software using this port.
