121
123 Example of an yapet configuration file
124 load=/home/joe/passwords
125 locktimeout=300
126 checkfsecurity=0
127 pwgen_pwlen=8
128
129 In this example, the file /home/joe/passwords will be loaded upon
130 invocation of yapet. The timeout until the screen is locked is set to
131 300 seconds. File permissions will not be verified.
132
133 The Password Generator Dialog will have preset the Password Length to 8
134 characters.
135
136 Example of an yapet configuration file
137 locktimeout=150
138 checkfsecurity=yes
139 pwgen_other=enable
140
141 In this example, no file will be automatically loaded upon invocation
142 of yapet. The timeout until the screen is locked is set to 150 seconds.
143 File permissions and owner will be verified.
144
145 The Password Generator Dialog will have preset the Other check box
146 checked.
147
148 Example 1 revisited
149 load=~/passwords.pet
150 locktimeout=300
151 checkfsecurity=false
152 pwgen_pwlen=8
153
154 This example has the same effect as Example of an yapet configuration
155 file. But instead of specifying the full path to the home directory,
156 the ~ (tilde) sign is used, which is expanded to the home directory
157 automatically. The .pet suffix can be specified, but if omitted it will
158 be appended automatically.
159
161 $HOME/.yapet
162 The per-user configuration file. If existing, options are read from
163 this file but can be overridden by the command line options.
164 Processing of this file can be disabled by invoking yapet with the
165 -i option.
