6 Dwunmakeauth

Dwunmakeauth generates an authentication file for the dwun(8) server. Its default behaviour is to add the given username to the authfile. If the user already exists in the authfile, it will prompt to change that users' password.

Usernames are case sensitive and may only contain alphanumeric characters, plus '-' and '_'. A username may not start with a number.

If the authfile (/etc/dwunauth) does not exist, run dwunmakeauth -i to create it with the correct permissions and add the meta-users.

See dwunmakeauth -h for a list of command-line options.

dwunmakeauth [-f FILE] [-r] [-v] [-h] username

-f

use this file as the authentication file. /etc/dwunauth by default.

-i

initialize authfile by creating and adding meta-users.

-v

version info.

-h

help info.

-r

remove the user. (Not yet implemented, instead lock8 the account then when dwun is shutdown use a text editor to remove the user).

You must restart dwun (admin RESTART command, or kill -HUP then rerun dwun) before the new username may be used.
