  rfpasswd(8)                         CLIX                         rfpasswd(8)



  NAME

    rfpasswd - Changes Remote File Sharing host password

  SYNOPSIS

    rfpasswd

  DESCRIPTION

    The rfpasswd command updates the Remote File Sharing (RFS) authentication
    password for a host; processing of the new password follows the same
    criteria as used by passwd.  The updated password is registered at the
    domain name server /usr/nserve/auth.info/domain/passwd and replaces the
    password stored at the local host file /usr/nserve/loc.passwd.

    This command can only be used by the superuser.

  EXAMPLES

    To change the RFS password on a host, enter the following:

    rfpasswd


  FILES

    /usr/nserve/loc.passwd

  NOTES

    If you change your host password, make sure that hosts that validate your
    password are notified of this change.  To receive the new password, hosts
    must obtain a copy of the domain/passwd file from the domain's primary
    name server.  If this is not done, attempts to mount remote resources may
    fail!

  DIAGNOSTICS

    An error message will be sent to stderr if:

    ⊕  The old password entered from this command does not match the existing
       password for this machine

    ⊕  The two new passwords entered from this command do not match

    ⊕  The new password does not satisfy the security criteria in passwd

    ⊕  The domain name server does not know about this machine or

    ⊕  The command is not run with superuser privileges.

    An error will also occur if RFS is not running on your host and your
    domain's primary name server.  A new password cannot be logged if a
    secondary is acting as the domain name server.
