pfstore(1) General Commands Manual pfstore(1) NAME pfstore - Used to create and manage a pass-phrase store. SYNOPSIS pfstore [-n] [-d] -f pfsfile identity OPTIONS -n Create the file -d Delete given identity from the store -f pfsfile Specifies file that holds identity/pass-phrase pairs DESCRIPTION pfstore is used to create and manage files that hold identity/pass-phrase pairs. It is primarily used to manage the owampd.pfs file for owampd. If the -d option is not specified, then pfstore prompts the caller for a pass-phrase. The pass-phrase is hex-encoded and saved in the pfsfile with the associated identity. If the given identity already exists in the pfs- file, the previous pass-phrase is overwritten with the new one. pfsfiles generated by pfstore are formatted for use with OWAMP. PFSFILE FORMAT pfstore generates lines of the format: test 54b0c58c7ce9f2a8b551351102ee0938 An identity, followed by whitespace, followed by a variable-length hex-en- coded pass-phrase. No other text is allowed on these lines; however, comment lines may be added. Comment lines are any line where the first non-white space character is '#'. EXAMPLES pfstore -f /usr/local/etc/owampd.pfs testuser Adds a pass-phrase for the identity testuser. The user is prompted for a pass-phrase. If the file does not exist, an error message will be printed and no action will be taken. pfstore -f /usr/local/etc/owampd.pfs -n testuser Creates the file before doing the same as above. If the file already exists, an error message will be printed and no action will be taken. pfstore -f /usr/local/etc/owampd.pfs -d testuser Deletes the identity testuser from the pfsfile. If the file does not exist, an error message will be printed and no action will be taken. SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS The pass-phrases in the pfsfile are not encrypted in any way; they are sim- ply hex-encoded. The security of these pass-phrases is completely dependent upon the security of the filesystem and the discretion of the system admin- istrator. RESTRICTIONS identity names are restricted to 80 characters. SEE ALSO owping(1), owampd(1), owampd(1) and the http://e2epi.internet2.edu/owamp web site.
