DESCRIPTION

12       The  iceauth  program  is  used  to  edit and display the authorization
13       information used in connecting with ICE.  This program is usually  used
14       to  extract authorization records from one machine and merge them in on
15       another (as is the case when using remote logins or granting access  to
16       other users).  Commands (described below) may be entered interactively,
17       on the iceauth command line, or in scripts.
