AFPPASSWD(1) Netatalk AFP Fileserver Manual AFPPASSWD(1) Name afppasswd -- AFP password maintenance utility Synopsis afppasswd [-acfn] [-p afppasswd file] [-u minimum uid] [-w password string] Description afppasswd creates and maintains an afppasswd file, which supplies the user credentials for the "Randnum exchange" and "2-Way Randnum ex- change" User Authentication Modules. afppasswd can either be called by root with parameters to manage all user credentials, or by local system users with no parameters to change their own AFP passwords. NOTE With this utility you can only change the passwords used by these two Random Number UAMs. As they provide only weak password encryption, their use is discouraged unless one has to support very old AFP clients that can not deal with the more secure "DHX" or "DHX2" UAMs. Examples Local user changing their own password: example% afppasswd Enter NEW AFP password: (hidden) Enter NEW AFP password again: (hidden) afppasswd: updated password. Options -a Add a new user to the afppasswd file. -c Create and/or initialize afppasswd file or specific user. -f Force the current action. -p <path> Path to afppasswd file. -n If cracklib support is built into netatalk this option will cause cracklib checking to be disabled, if the superuser does not want to have the password run against the cracklib dictio- nary. -u <minimum uid> This is the minimum user id (uid) that afppasswd will use when creating users. -w <password string> Use string as password, instead of typing it interactively. Please use this option only if absolutely necessary, since the password may remain in the terminal history in plain text.
