NAME

        sfsauthd - SFS authentication daemon
 

SYNOPSIS

        /usr/local/lib/sfs-0.8pre/sfsauthd [-u sockfile] [-f config-file]
 

DESCRIPTION

        sfsauthd is the program responsible for authenticating users.  sfsrwsd
        and other daemons communicate with sfsauthd, forwarding it authentica‐
        tion requests from sfsagent processes on remote client machines.
        sfsauthd informs requesting daemons of whether authentication requests
        are valid, and if so what local credentials to associate with the
        remote user agent.  The sfskey program also communicates directly with
        remote sfsauthd processes when retrieving and updating users keys (with
        sfskey add, update, register, and more).
 

OPTIONS

        -f config-file
            Specify an alternate sfssauthd_config configuration file.  The
            default, if -f is unspecified, is /etc/sfs/sfsauthd_config.
 
        -u path
            Bind unix domain socket path, and accept TCP connections passed
            over connections to that socket.  This option allows sfssd to com‐
            municate with already running sfsauthd commands using a directive
            like Service 2 -u path in sfssd_config .
