27 iceauth \- ICE authority file utility
30 [ \fB\-f\fP \fIauthfile\fP ] [ \fB\-vqib\fP ] [ \fIcommand arg ...\fP ]
33 The \fIiceauth\fP program is used to edit and display the authorization
34 information used in connecting with ICE. This program is usually
35 used to extract authorization records from one machine and merge them in on
36 another (as is the case when using remote logins or granting access to
37 other users). Commands (described below) may be entered interactively,
38 on the \fIiceauth\fP command line, or in scripts.
41 \fB\-f\fP \fIauthfile\fP Name of the authority file to use. Will default to
42 the file currently in use by the session.
44 \fB\-v\fP Turns on extra messages (verbose mode)
46 \fB\-q\fP Turns off extra messages (quiet mode)
48 \fB\-i\fP Ignore the locks on the authority file
50 \fB\-b\fP Break the locks on the authority file
52 \fB\-u\fP Print basic usage instructions
56 When \fIiceauth\fP is run it will allow the following set of commands
57 to be entered interactively or in scripts.
61 List available commands.
65 Print help information. You may supply a command name to \fIhelp\fP to
66 get specific information about it.
70 Print information about the entries in the authority file.
74 List (print) entries in the authority file. You may specify optional
75 modifiers as below to specify which entries are listed.
77 \fIlist\fP [ \fIprotocol_name\fP ] [ \fIprotocol_data\fP ] [
78 \fInetid\fP ] [ \fIauthname\fP ]
82 Add an entry to the authority file. This must be in the format
84 \fIadd\fP \fIprotocol_name\fP \fIprotocol_data\fP \fInetid\fP \fIauthname\fP \fIauthdata\fP
88 Remove entries from the authority file.
90 \fIremove\fP [ \fIprotocol_name\fP ] [ \fIprotocol_data\fP ] [
91 \fInetid\fP ] [ \fIauthname\fP ]
95 Extract entries from the authority file in to a destination file. You
96 must supply the path to the destination to this command as in the
97 following format. Optional specifiers allow you to narrow which
98 entries are extracted.
100 \fIextract\fP \fIfilename\fP [ \fIprotocol_name\fP ] [ \fIprotocol_data\fP ]
101 [ \fInetid\fP ] [ \fIauthname\fP ]
105 Merge entries from other files in to the authority file selected by the program. You may supply any number of file paths to this command as follows:
107 \fImerge\fP \fIfilename1\fP [ \fIfilename2\fP ] [ \fIfilename3\fP ] ...
111 Save changes and exit the program.
115 Abort changes and exit the program without saving.
