NAME

       iceauth - ICE authority file utility

SYNOPSIS

       iceauth [ -f authfile ] [ -vqib ] [ command arg ... ]

DESCRIPTION

       The iceauth program is used to edit and display the authorization information used in connecting with ICE.  This program is usually used to
       extract authorization records from one machine and merge them in on another (as is the case when using remote logins or granting access	to
       other users).  Commands (described below) may be entered interactively, on the iceauth command line, or in scripts.

OPTIONS

       -f authfile  Name of the authority file to use. Will default to
		    the file currently in use by the session.

       -v	    Turns on extra messages (verbose mode)

       -q	    Turns off extra messages (quiet mode)

       -i	    Ignore the locks on the authority file

       -b	    Break the locks on the authority file

       -u	    Print basic usage instructions

USAGE

       When iceauth is run it will allow the following set of commands to be entered interactively or in scripts.

       ?

       extract

       merge

       Merge entries from other files in to the authority file selected by the program. You may supply any number of file paths to this command as
