NAME

       builddbm - users.db compiler

SYNOPSIS

       builddbm [ -hvx ] [ -d directory ] [ -l file ]

DESCRIPTION

       YARD RADIUS builddbm is a program that builds the GDBM format of the `users' file, which could be used in
       conjunction  with  the  radiusd  `-b'  flag.  The users file should resides in the standard configuration
       directory, as selected at configuration time. It should be run as root. Be also sure to set mode 600  for
       the `users' file as well as the resulting `users.db'.

OPTIONS

       -d directory
              Changes  the  source  `users'  file  directory.  The  default  value is /usr/conf. The destination
              directory of `users.db' is the same one.

       -h     Prints out usage of the command.

       -v     Prints version information.

       -l file
              Changes the logging file.

       -x     Prints (or should do so) debugging messages while compiling.

FILES

       /usr/conf/users
              This file contains the human readable information for users'  accounting  and  authorization.  See
              radius_attributes(5) for details about its syntax.

       /usr/conf/users.db
              The  same  of  the previous one as compiled in by builddbm in GDBM format. It needs to be compiled
              again every time you make changes to the previous one and without restarting radiusd .

       /usr/conf/dictionary
              This read-only file contains the codes  and  formats  for  standard  and  vendor  RADIUS  protocol
              attributes and values along with their human readable representation. It is subject to change, due
              to new access server supports. It is a plain text file with a pletora of comments in it.
