ss5.passwd(5)		       File Formats Manual		   ss5.passwd(5)

NAME
     ss5.passwd - Contains usernames and passwords for user authentication.

SYNOPSIS
     ss5 usually reads the password file, ss5.passwd, in the /etc/opt/ss5 direc-
     tory.

DESCRIPTION
     To  enable  Username/Password  authentication  with the ss5 daemon you must
     create a password file, and modify the ss5 configuration file, ss5.conf.

     In the password file, add one line for each user. Each line should  contain
     the username and password for the user, separated by white space.

     In  the  ss5 configuration file, add an auth line to require authentication
     and allow the user access. For additional information about the ss5 config-
     uration file, refer to the ss5.conf(5) man page.

     Adding Username/Password authentication to ss5 requires 3 steps:

	  1. Create the password file with one entry per line. To create an  en-
	     try  for the user named matthew, whose password is secret, add this
	     line to the ss5.passwd file:
		  matthew secret

	  2. Edit the auth line in  the  configuration	file  to  require  User-
	     name/Password  authentication.  The  configuration file may contain
	     auth lines such as:
		  auth - - -

	     To add username and password authentication, change the line to:
		  auth - - u

	  3. Restart the server.
