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 directory. 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 con- tain the username and password for the user, separated by white space. In the ss5 configuration file, add an auth line to require authentica- tion and allow the user access. For additional information about the ss5 configuration 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 entry 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 con- tain auth lines such as: auth - - - To add username and password authentication, change the line to: auth - - u 3. Restart the server.
