ss5.passwd(5)            DragonFly File Formats Manual           ss5.passwd(5)


NAME

       ss5.passwd - Contains usernames and passwords for user authentication.


SYNOPSIS

       ss5 usually reads the password file, ss5.passwd, in the /etc/opt/ss5
       directory.


DESCRIPTION

       To enable Username/Password authentication with the ss5 daemon you must
       create a password file, and modify the ss5 configuration file,
       ss5.conf.

       In the password file, add one line for each user. Each line should
       contain the username and password for the user, separated by white
       space.

       In the ss5 configuration file, add an auth line to require
       authentication and allow the user access. For additional information
       about the ss5 configuration file, refer to the ss5.conf(5) man page.

       Adding Username/Password authentication to ss5 requires 3 steps:

            1. Create the password file with one entry per line. To create an
               entry for the user named matthew, whose password is secret, add
               this line to the ss5.passwd file:
                    matthew secret

            2. Edit the auth line in the configuration file to require
               Username/Password authentication. The configuration file may
               contain auth lines such as:
                    auth - - -

               To add username and password authentication, change the line
               to:
                    auth - - u

            3. Restart the server.
