NAME

/etc/rpasswd.conf - configuration file for remote password update client

DESCRIPTION

The file /etc/rpasswd.conf is read from rpasswd(1) at startup to determine the name and port number of the server where rpasswdd(8) is running. Valid entries are

server hostname

The rpasswdd(8) daemon is running on server hostname.

port number

The rpasswdd(8) daemon is listening on port number. The default port number is 774, which is defined as rpasswd in /etc/services.

reqcert never|allow|try|hard

Specifies what checks to perform on server certificates in a SSL session. The default for this option is hard.
never
rpasswd will not request or check any server certificate.
allow
The server certificate is requested. If no certificate is provided, the session proceeds normally. If a bad certificate is provided, a warning will be shown but the session proceeds normally.
try
The server certificate is requested. If no certificate is provided, the session proceeds normally. If a bad certificate is provided, the session is immediately terminated.
hard
The server certificate is requested. If no or a bad certificate is provided, the session is immediately terminated.

EXAMPLE

# rpasswdd runs on master.example.com
server master.example.com
port 774
reqcert allow

BUGS

The service rpasswd on port 774 in /etc/services is not registerd for this program, only misused. It could be that there is another daemon already running on this port, but I couldn't find any software using this port.
