CHANGELOGIN(8)CHANGELOGIN(8)NAME
changelogin, convpasswd - create/update the password file
SYNOPSIS
auth/changelogin name
auth/convpasswd [ -f ] [ -v ] [ -m keydir ] [ pwfile ]
DESCRIPTION
Changelogin helps to administer a password file /keydb/keys (see
keys(6)), a requirement of `signer' servers (see logind(8), signer(8),
and svc/auth in svc(8)). Changelogin can only be used on the signing
host itself, after keyfs(4) has been started (eg, by svc/auth) to make
the entries visible in the name space.
If a password file entry for name exists, it is modified; otherwise, a
new entry is created. The user is prompted for the following items:
password
A string at least 8 characters in length. The SHA-1 digest of
the entered string is stored in the password file. See keyring-
sha1(2). By default, the password for an existing entry is
unchanged.
expiration date
An expiration time in the format DDMMYYYY. The user input is
checked for valid day, month, and year; moreover, the new date
must be later than the current time. By default, the current
value, if any, is unchanged for an existing entry and one year
from the current time for a new entry.
Note that the password expiration date is also used as the default
expiration date for any certificate later produced; see getauthinfo(8).
Convpasswd converts a Third Edition password file to the keys(6) file
used by the current Edition of the system. It reads password entries
from pwfile, /keydb/password by default, and writes corresponding
entries into a name space served by keyfs(4), mounted at keydir,
/mnt/keys by default. It copies passwords and expiry times. The `free
form' administrative data is discarded. If keydir already has got an
entry for a user, it is left as-is, unless the -f option is given to
force convpasswd to copy across the entry in pwfile . The -v option
causes convpasswd to print each user name after it successfully
installs it.
