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              Note
20
21              With  this utility you can only change the passwords used by two
22              specific UAMs. As they provide only  weak  password  encryption,
23              the  use  of the "Randnum exchange" and "2-Way Randnum exchange"
24              UAMs is deprecated unless  one  has  to  support  very  old  AFP
25              clients,  that can not deal with the more secure "DHCAST128" UAM
26              instead. Please compare with the [Cross reference  to  non-exis‐
27              tant ID “authentication”] inside Netatalk's documentation.

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