DESCRIPTION

14       auth2 is the Coda authentication  server.   Clients  need  to  have  an
15       authentication  token  from  auth2  in order to establish authenticated
16       connections to Coda file servers.
17
18       auth2 supports the following commands line options:
19
20       -r     Tells auth2 to print log entries to the controlling  tty  rather
21              than a log file.
22
23       -chk   Causes  auth2  to only validate passwords.  New password entries
24              cannot be added via this server instance.  Servers started  with
25              the -chk option are slave servers. There should only be one mas‐
26              ter server (SCM) in the system.
27
28       -x     Sets the server debuglevel. This level controls  the  amount  of
29              debugging information printed by the server.
30
31       -p     Used  to  tell  auth2 where its password file is. Typically this
32              file is /vice/db/auth2.pw.
33
34       -tk    Specifies where the tokenkey file is found  which  auth2  should
35              use    when   encrypting   tokens.   Normally   this   file   is
36              /vice/db/auth2.tk
37
38       -fk    Name of file containing the key to  decrypt  the  password  file
39              with.
