NAME

       cvm-pwfile - POSIX-style passwd file module

SYNOPSIS

       cvm-pwfile

CREDENTIALS

       Pass phrase

DESCRIPTION

       This  module  loads entries from an alternate password file using the fgetpwent(3) API, which requires the file to be formatted the same as
       the UNIX /etc/passwd file.  No group name lookups are done.

CONFIGURATION VARIABLES

       CVM_PWFILE_PATH
	      the path to the passwd file containing the credential information.

       CVM_PWFILE_PWCMP (optional)
	      The password comparison module to use.  If it is not set, the default password comparison mode is plain-text.   To  use  UNIX  crypt
	      style passwords, like /etc/passwd does, set this to "crypt".
