conspw(LM)                      19 June 1992                      conspw(LM)


 Name

    conspw - file that contains passwords for client filesharing.

 Description

    The /usr/lib/lm/conspw file contains a list of server names the LAN Man-
    ager Client has trusted access to.  It also contains the machine password
    to use when attempting to establish a trusted connection.  Only XENIX-NET
    servers allow trusted access.  Each file entry contains two fields:  a
    server machine name and an unencrypted machine password.  Fields are
    separated by a colon ``:''. Entries are separated by a NEWLINE.

    To add entries, use the mkconspw utility or a text editor.  To remove
    entries, use a text editor.

    The LAN Manager Client reads the /usr/lib/lm/conspw file when the client
    is enabled.  If changes are made to the file, they do not take effect
    until the client is stopped and started, or the system is rebooted using
    init 6.

    When a local user first uses the network path //server/path, the local
    system attempts to establish a trusted connection with the server ma-
    chine.  The system sends its own machine name to the server, along with
    the machine password contained in the /usr/lib/lm/conspw file entry for
    the server machine (server).  The XENIX-NET server checks its
    /usr/lib/xnet/cdf file to verify that this client machine is allowed
    trusted access.

    An entry in /usr/lib/lm/conspw with an asterisk ``*'' as a server machine
    name matches any server machine; however, an entry that exactly matches a
    server name overrides an ``*'' entry.

    The filesharing client ignores duplicate server names in
    /usr/lib/lm/conspw.

 Notes

    Because the file /usr/lib/lm/conspw contains unencrypted machine pass-
    words, it should not have general read permission.
