sfsauthd
daemon/usr/local/lib/sfs-0.6/sfsauthd [-u sockfile] [-f config-file]
sfsauthd
is the program responsible for authenticating
users. sfsrwsd
and other daemons communicate with
sfsauthd
, forwarding it authentication requests from
sfsagent
processes on remote 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).
-f config-file
sfssauthd_config
configuration file,
sfsauthd_config. The default, if -f
is unspecified, is
/etc/sfs/sfsauthd_config
.
-u path
sfssd
to communicate with already running sfsauthd
commands using
a directive like Service 2 -u path
in sfssd_config
sfssd_config.
