sfsauthd(8)

NAME

sfsauthd - SFS authentication daemon

SYNOPSIS

/usr/local/lib/sfs-0.8pre/sfsauthd   [-u   sockfile]   [-f
config-file]

DESCRIPTION

sfsauthd is the program responsible for authenticating

users. sfsrwsd and other daemons communicate with sfsauthd, for

warding it authentication requests from sfsagent processes on re

mote client machines. sfsauthd informs requesting daemons of

whether authentication requests are valid, and if so what local

credentials to associate with the remote user agent. The sfskey

program also communicates directly with remote sfsauthd processes

when retrieving and updating users keys (with sfskey add, update,

register, and more).

OPTIONS

-f config-file

Specify an alternate sfssauthd_config configuration

file. The default, if -f is unspecified, is

/etc/sfs/sfsauthd_config.

-u path

Bind unix domain socket path, and accept TCP connec

tions passed over connections to that socket. This option allows

sfssd to communicate with already running sfsauthd commands using

a directive like Service 2 -u path in sfssd_config .

FILES

/etc/sfs/sfsauthd_config /usr/local/share/sfs/sfsauthd_config

user-authentication daemon configuration

(Files in /etc/sfs supersede default versions in

/usr/local/share/sfs.)
