Name
hesupd - Hesiod update daemon for modifying BIND/Hesiod passwords
Syntax
Description
The Hesiod update daemon, is a server that handles password change requests from the command and is run only on the BIND/Hesiod primary
server serving the password database. The daemon changes the password entries on the BIND/Hesiod primary server.
The primary server is identified by the host name alias, bindmaster, which must exist on the server's host entry in the hosts database.
The bindsetup command adds the host name alias, bindmaster to the file if it does not already exist.
This daemon is not run by default, nor can it be started up from the daemon. If you want to enable remote password updating for BIND/Hes-
iod, put an entry for in the file of the host serving as the primary server for the BIND/Hesiod file. You can add the startup lines for to
by running the command.
Hesiod keeps a log file, which records successful and unsuccessful password changes by uid.
Examples
This following example shows lines you can add to in order to start the Hesiod update daemon at boot time.
[ -f /usr/etc/hesupd ] && {
/usr/etc/hesupd; echo -n ' hesupd' >/dev/console
}
