There are two kinds of options; options for CPU and options for CPU modules. There are only four options for CPU, they are as follows: -C configfile, --config configfile The configuration file to be used by CPU. The options in this file are used for CPU modules. -h, --help Display help for CPU. If specified in conjunction with the -m option the help for that particular module is displayed. -M method, --method=method This is the method of administration. Current options are ldap or passwd (passwd is not yet working). This can be specified in the configuration file. -V, --version Display the version of the software. SEE ALSO
