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	automagically. 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 char-
       acters 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	 geth-
       ostid().	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
	      "signature =" in afp.conf. In this case,	afp_signature.conf  is
	      not used.

Examples
   Example: afp_signature.conf
	      #	This is	a comment.
	      "My Server" 74A0BB94EC8C13988B2E75042347E528
