NAME

       twoftpd-auth - TwoFTPD authentication front-end

SYNOPSIS

       twoftpd-auth cvmodule twoftpd-xfer

DESCRIPTION

       twoftpd-auth  reads  a username and password from the network and authenticates them using the CVM module
       cvmodule.  If the authentication succeeds, it sets the environment variables UID, GID, HOME, and USER  to
       the  user's  UID,  GID,  home directory, and login name respectively, and then executes twoftpd-xfer.  It
       also sets GROUP if the CVM reports a group name, and AUTHENTICATED to 1  (twoftpd-auth  and  twoftpd-xfer
       look for this variable to determine what startup banner code to use).
