BUILDDBM(8)							Yard Radius Manual						       BUILDDBM(8)

NAME

       builddbm - users.db compiler

SYNOPSIS

       builddbm [ -hvx ] [ -d directory ] [ -l file ]

DESCRIPTION

       YARD RADIUS builddbm is a program that builds the GDBM format of the `users' file, which could be used in conjunction with the radiusd `-b'
       flag.  The users file should resides in the standard configuration directory, as selected at configuration time. It should be run as  root.
       Be also sure to set mode 600 for the `users' file as well as the resulting `users.db'.

OPTIONS

       -d directory
	      Changes the source `users' file directory. The default value is /usr/conf. The destination directory of `users.db' is the same one.

       -h     Prints out usage of the command.

       -v     Prints version information.

       -l file
	      Changes the logging file.

       -x     Prints (or should do so) debugging messages while compiling.

FILES

       /usr/conf/users
	      This  file  contains  the  human	readable information for users' accounting and authorization. See radius_attributes(5) for details
	      about its syntax.

       /usr/conf/users.db
	      The same of the previous one as compiled in by builddbm in GDBM format. It needs to be compiled again every time you make changes to
	      the previous one and without restarting radiusd .

       /usr/conf/dictionary
	      This  read-only  file  contains the codes and formats for standard and vendor RADIUS protocol attributes and values along with their
	      human readable representation. It is subject to change, due to new access server supports. It is a plain text file with a pletora of
	      comments in it.
