RFPASSWD(1M) (Remote File Sharing Utilities) RFPASSWD(1M)
NAME
rfpasswd - change Remote File Sharing host password
SYNOPSIS
rfpasswd
DESCRIPTION
rfpasswd updates the Remote File Sharing authentication
password for a host; processing of the new password follows
the same criteria as passwd(1). 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 (/usr/nserve/loc.passwd
file).
This command is restricted to the super-user.
NOTE: 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!
ERRORS
If (1) the old password entered from this command does not
match the existing password for this machine, (2) the two
new passwords entered from this command do not match, (3)
the new password does not satisfy the security criteria in
passwd(1), (4) the domain name server does not know about
this machine, or (5) the command is not run with super-user
privileges, an error message will be sent to standard error.
Also, Remote File Sharing must be 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.
