-C configfile, --config configfile

-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.
