rpasswd.conf(5)						       rpasswd.conf(5)

NAME
       /etc/rpasswd.conf  -  configuration  file  for  remote  password update
       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.
