NAME

6       afppasswd - netatalk password maintenance utility
7

SYNOPSIS

9       afppasswd [-acfn] [-p passwd file] [-u minimum uid]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       afppasswd allows the maintenance of afppasswd files created by netatalk
13       for use by the uams_randnum.so UAM (providing the "Randnum exchange"
14       and "2-Way Randnum exchange" User Authentication Modules).
15
16       afppasswd can either be called by root with parameters, or can be
17       called by local system users with no parameters to change their AFP
18       passwords.
19
20           Note
21           With this utility you can only change the passwords used by two
22           specific UAMs. As they provide only weak password encryption, the
23           use of the "Randnum exchange" and "2-Way Randnum exchange" UAMs is
24           deprecated unless one has to support very old AFP clients, that can
25           not deal with the more secure "DHCAST128" and "DHX2" UAM instead.
26           Please compare with the Authentication chapter inside Netatalk's
27           documentation.

EXAMPLE

30       Local user changing their own password:
31
32           example% afppasswd
33           Enter NEW AFP password: (hidden)
34           Enter NEW AFP password again: (hidden)
35           afppasswd: updated password.
36

46
47       -p path
48           Path to afppasswd file.
49
50       -n
51           If cracklib support is built into netatalk this option will cause
52           cracklib checking to be disabled, if the superuser does not want to
53           have the password run against the cracklib dictionary.
54
55       -u minimum uid
56           This is the minimum user id (uid) that afppasswd will use when
57           creating users.
