AFP_SIGNATURE.CONF(5) Netatalk AFP Fileserver Manual AFP_SIGNATURE.CONF(5) Name afp_signature.conf -- Configuration file used by afpd to specify server signature Description afp_signature.conf is the configuration file used by afpd to store a server signature automatically. The configuration lines are composed like: "server-name" hexa-string The first field is the server name. Server names must be quoted if they contain spaces. The second field is the hexadecimal string of 32 characters for a 16-byte server signature. All leading spaces and tabs are ignored. Blank lines are ignored. The lines prefixed with # are ignored. Any illegal lines are ignored. The server signature is a unique 16-byte identifier used to prevent users from logging on to the same server twice. Netatalk 2.0 and earlier generated a server signature by using gethostid(). This led to a problem where multiple servers could end up with the same signature because the hostid is not unique enough. Current netatalk generates the signature from random numbers and saves it into afp_signature.conf upon initial startup. For subsequent starts, it is read from this file. NOTE: This file should not be thoughtlessly edited or copied onto another server. If you want to set the signature intentionally, use the option "sig- nature =" in afp.conf. In this case, afp_signature.conf is not used. Examples Example: afp_signature.conf # This is a comment. "My Server" 74A0BB94EC8C13988B2E75042347E528 See also afpd(8), afp.conf(5), asip-status(1) Author Contributors to the Netatalk Project (https://netatalk.io/contributors) Netatalk 4.5.0 AFP_SIGNATURE.CONF(5)
