The eqpasswd utility may be used to maintain encrypted eloqsd passwords.
usage: eqpasswd [options] passkey
options:
-help - show usage (this list)
-a - add new passkey entry
-d - delete passkey entry
-f pswdfile - encrypted passwords file name
(default is configured in eloqsd.cfg file)
The options are:
- -help
- The -help option displays a brief help text.
- -a
- The -a option is used to add a new passkey/password combination.
The passkey is specified on the command line. The eqpasswd utility
then prompts for the associated password.
- -d
- The -d option is used to delete a passkey.
- -f pswdfile
- The -f option instructs eqpasswd to use the specified password
file instead of the default eloqsd.pswd file (default is configured
in the eloqsd.cfg file).
If neither the -a nor the -d option is present, the password for
the specified passkey is updated. The eqpasswd utility then prompts
for the associated password.
Encrypted passwords are maintained in a file specified in the eloqsd.cfg
config file (by default eloqsd.pswd). To add a passkey, change a password
or delete a passkey, write access to the password file is required.
At runtime, the password file is also read by the eloqsd process.
Add the passkey joe and specify password.
$ eqpasswd -a joe
Adding new password entry for 'joe'.
New password:
Reenter new password:
Password entry added.
Change the password for the passkey joe.
$ eqpasswd joe
Changing password entry for 'joe'.
New password:
Reenter new password:
Password entry changed.
