NAME
       pfstore - Used to create and manage a pass-phrase store.

SYNOPSIS
       pfstore [-n] [-d] -f pfsfile identity

OPTIONS
       -n     Create the file

       -d     Delete given identity from the store

       -f pfsfile
	      Specifies file that holds identity/pass-phrase pairs

DESCRIPTION
       pfstore	is  used  to  create and manage files that hold identity/pass-
       phrase pairs. It is primarily used to manage the	 owampd.pfs  file  for
       owampd.

       If  the -d option is not specified, then pfstore prompts the caller for
       a pass-phrase. The pass-phrase is hex-encoded and saved in the  pfsfile
       with  the associated identity.  If the given identity already exists in
       the pfsfile, the previous pass-phrase is overwritten with the new one.

       pfsfiles generated by pfstore are formatted for use with OWAMP.

PFSFILE FORMAT
       pfstore generates lines of the format:

       test 54b0c58c7ce9f2a8b551351102ee0938

       An identity, followed by whitespace, followed by a variable-length hex-
       encoded pass-phrase.

       No  other text is allowed on these lines; however, comment lines may be
       added. Comment lines are any line where the first non-white space char‐
       acter is '#'.

EXAMPLES
       pfstore -f /usr/local/etc/owampd.pfs testuser

	      Adds  a  pass-phrase  for	 the  identity	testuser.  The user is
	      prompted for a pass-phrase. If the file does not exist, an error
	      message will be printed and no action will be taken.

       pfstore -f /usr/local/etc/owampd.pfs -n testuser

	      Creates  the  file  before  doing the same as above. If the file
	      already exists, an error message will be printed and  no	action
	      will be taken.

       pfstore -f /usr/local/etc/owampd.pfs -d testuser

	      Deletes  the  identity  testuser	from the pfsfile.  If the file
	      does not exist, an error message will be printed and  no	action
	      will be taken.

SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS
       The  pass-phrases in the pfsfile are not encrypted in any way; they are
       simply hex-encoded. The security of these  pass-phrases	is  completely
       dependent upon the security of the filesystem and the discretion of the
       system administrator.

RESTRICTIONS
       identity names are restricted to 80 characters.
