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 specify
       server signature	automagically. The configuration  lines	 are  composed
       like:

       <"server-name"> <hexa-string>

       The  first  field  is  server name. Server names	must be	quoted if they
       contain spaces. The second field	is the hexadecimal string of 32	 char-
       acters for 16-bytes server signature.

       The  leading  spaces and	tabs are ignored. Blank	lines are ignored. The
       lines prefixed with # are ignored. The illegal lines are	ignored.

	      NOTE

	      Server Signature is unique 16-bytes identifier used  to  prevent
	      logging on to the	same server twice.

	      Netatalk	2.0  and  earlier  generated server signature by using
	      gethostid(). There was a problem that another servers  have  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.	When starting next time, it is
	      read from	this file.

	      This  file should	not be thoughtlessly edited and	be copied onto
	      another server. If it wants to set the signature	intentionally,
	      use the option "signature	=" in afp.conf.	In this	case, afp_sig-
	      nature.conf is not used.

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