WLAN_XAUTH(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual WLAN_XAUTH(4)NAME
wlan_xauth -- External authenticator support for 802.11 devices
SYNOPSIS
device wlan_xauth
DESCRIPTION
The wlan_xauth module is a wlan(4) authenticator plugin for use with user-mode authentication implementations such as hostapd. It hooks into
the 802.11 layer and does nothing. As a result, 802.11 stations that associate are not authorized to send or receive frames until they are
authorized by an external agent; typically using a protocol such as WPA, 802.1x, or 802.11i.
This module is automatically loaded by the rc script that normally starts hostapd(8).
SEE ALSO wlan(4)STANDARDS
More information can be found in the IEEE 802.11, WPA, and 802.11i Standards.
HISTORY
The wlan_xauth driver first appeared in FreeBSD 6.0.

hostapd -- authenticator for IEEE 802.11 networks
SYNOPSIS
hostapd [-BdhKtv] config-file ...
DESCRIPTION
The hostapd utility is an authenticator for IEEE 802.11 networks. It provides full support for WPA/IEEE 802.11i and can also act as an IEEE
802.1X Authenticator with a suitable backend Authentication Server (typically FreeRADIUS). The hostapd utility implements the authentication
protocols that piggyback on top of the normal IEEE 802.11 protocol mechanisms. To use hostapd as an authenticator, the underlying device
must support some basic functionality such as the ability to set security information in the 802.11 management frames. Beware that not all
devices have this support.
The hostapd utility is designed to be a ``daemon'' program that runs in the background and acts as the backend component controlling the
wireless connection. It supports separate frontend programs such as the text-based frontend, hostapd_cli(8).
The following arguments must be specified on the command line:
config-file
Use the settings in the specified configuration file; the name of the specified wireless interface is contained in this file. See
hostapd.conf(5) for a description of the configuration file syntax.
Changes to the configuration file can be reloaded by sending a SIGHUP to the hostapd processor or with the hostapd_cli(8) utility,
using ``hostapd_cli reconfigure''.
OPTIONS
The options are as follows:
-d Enable debugging messages. If this option is supplied twice, more verbose messages are displayed.
-h Show help text.
-t Include timestamps in debugging output.
-v Display version information on the terminal and exit.
-B Detach from the controlling terminal and run as a daemon process in the background.
-K Include key information in debugging output.

The hostapd utility first appeared in NetBSD 4.0.

First question is how do you learn UNIX on a home lab. I understand that HP-UX isn't free and neither is SCO Unix and they don't run on x86 based systems anyways.

What is the point of this? Whenever I close my shell it appends to the history file without adding this. I have never seen it overwrite my history file.
