AFPPASSWD(1) 3.1.8 AFPPASSWD(1)NAMEafppasswd - netatalk password maintenance utility
SYNOPSISafppasswd [-acfn] [-p passwd file] [-u minimum uid]
DESCRIPTIONafppasswd allows the maintenance of afppasswd files created by netatalk
for use by the uams_randnum.so UAM (providing the "Randnum exchange"
and "2-Way Randnum exchange" User Authentication Modules).
afppasswd can either be called by root with parameters, or can be
called by local system users with no parameters to change their AFP
passwords.
Note
With this utility you can only change the passwords used by two
specific UAMs. As they provide only weak password encryption, the
use of the "Randnum exchange" and "2-Way Randnum exchange" UAMs is
deprecated unless one has to support very old AFP clients, that can
not deal with the more secure "DHCAST128" and "DHX2" UAM instead.
Please compare with the Authentication chapter inside Netatalk's
documentation.
EXAMPLE
Local user changing their own password:
example% afppasswd
Enter NEW AFP password: (hidden)
Enter NEW AFP password again: (hidden)
afppasswd: updated password.
OPTIONS-a
Add a new user to the afppasswd file.
-c
Create and/or initialize afppasswd file or specific user.
-f
Force the current action.
-p path
Path to afppasswd file.
-n
If cracklib support is built into netatalk this option will cause
cracklib checking to be disabled, if the superuser does not want to
have the password run against the cracklib dictionary.
-u minimum uid
This is the minimum user id (uid) that afppasswd will use when
creating users.
