NAME

7       server signature

DESCRIPTION

10       /var/lib/netatalk/afp_signature.conf is the configuration file used by
11       afpd to specify server signature automagically. The configuration lines
12       are composed like:
13
14       "server name" hexa-string
15
16       The first field is server name. Server names must be quoted if they
17       contain spaces. The second field is the hexadecimal string of 32
18       characters for 16-bytes server signature.
19
20       The leading spaces and tabs are ignored. Blank lines are ignored. The
21       lines prefixed with # are ignored. The illegal lines are ignored.
22
23           Note
24           Server Signature is unique 16-bytes identifier used to prevent
25           logging on to the same server twice.
26
27           Netatalk 2.0 and earlier generated server signature by using
28           gethostid(). There was a problem that another servers have the same
29           signature because the hostid is not unique enough.
30
31           Current netatalk generates the signature from random numbers and
32           saves it into afp_signature.conf. When starting next time, it is
33           read from this file.
34
35           This file should not be thoughtlessly edited and be copied onto
36           another server. If it wants to set the signature intentionally, use
37           the option "signature =" in afp.conf. In this case,
38           afp_signature.conf is not used.
