client
DESCRIPTION
The file /etc/rpasswd.conf is read from rpasswd(1) at startup to deter‐
mine the name and port number of the server where rpasswdd(8) is run‐
ning. 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/ser‐
vices.
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 cer‐
tificate 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 cer‐
tificate is provided, the session is immediately termi‐
nated.
hard The server certificate is requested. If no or a bad cer‐
tificate is provided, the session is immediately termi‐
nated.
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.
