NAME
dbpasswd - allow changes to a FirstBase password
SYNOPSIS
dbpasswd
[directory]
DESCRIPTION
Dbpasswd
allows users to create or change a FirstBase password for any directory
where
write permissions are allowed. If a password for the
database directory
already exists,
dbpasswd(1) will prompt for the old password.
FirstBase passwords exist to keep unwanted users out of the
database editor
dbedit(1).
Dbpasswd(1)
encrypts all passwords before being stored.
FILES
-
.passwd
-
- the FirstBase password file.
SEE ALSO
dbedit(1),
dbscan(1),
firstbase(5)
FirstBase User's Guide and Reference Manual
DIAGNOSTICS
Once in place, UNIX protection of the
.passwd
file should be invoked by write protecting the file.
See chmod(1).
This will stop users
from deleting the password file and gaining entry to
dbedit(1).
