reloadpasswdfile
----------------
Reload the server password file. To be used when ALL users have a password
Although the password file can be reloaded(i.e to add/remove users), its location can't be changed
The password file is located by the ECF_PASSWD environment variable, both for the client and server
On the server the default file name is <host>.<port>.ecf.passwd
On the client the default file name is ecf.passwd
The format of the file is same for client and server:
4.5.0
# comment
<user> <host> <port> <passwd> # comment
i.e
4.5.0 # the version
fred machine1 3142 xxyyyd
fred machine2 3133 xxyyyd # comment
bill machine2 3133 xxyggyyd
The same user may appear multiple times. i.e with different host/port. This allows the password file
to be used for multiple servers
For the password authentication to work. It must be:
- Defined for the client and server
- Creating an empty password file,(i.e with just the version) will mean, no client can reload it.
Hence at least the server administrator needs to be added to the file
- The password file permission's must be set for reading by the user only
Usage:
--reloadpasswdfile
The client considers, for both user and child commands, the following environment variables:
ECF_HOST <string> [mandatory*]
The main server hostname; default value is 'localhost'
ECF_PORT <int> [mandatory*]
The main server port; default value is '3141'
ECF_SSL <any> [optional*]
Enable secure communication between client and server.
ECF_HOSTFILE <string> [optional]
File that lists alternate hosts to try, if connection to main host fails
ECF_HOSTFILE_POLICY <string> [optional]
The policy ('task' or 'all') to define which commands consider using alternate hosts.
The options marked with (*) must be specified in order for the client to communicate
with the server, either by setting the environment variables or by specifying the
command line options.
