PRAYER-ACCOUNTD(8) System Manager's Manual PRAYER-ACCOUNTD(8) NAME
prayer-accountd -- Prayer system account helper daemon SYNOPSIS
prayer-accountd [--config-file file] [[--config-option name=value] ...] [--enable-fork | --disable-fork] DESCRIPTION
prayer-accountd is an auxilliary daemon that allows users to perform various tasks with respect to their UNIX system account: o Change passwords o Change their name o Check filesystem quota Furthermore it can help users set up an (Exim-only) .forward file for Spam filtering, vacation auto-replies etc. prayer-accountd can be installed on a separate host from the main Prayer services if necessary. It needs to be able to run passwd(1), chfn(1), and quota(1) for the user, and access users' home directories. prayer-accountd accepts the following command-line options: --config-file file Reads configuration from file instead of the default. --config-option name=value Sets (overrides) the configuration option name to value. Any number of options can be specified in this manner. --enable-fork Fork subprocesses as requests come in. This is the default. --disable-fork Don't fork; process one request in at the time (debug mode). FILES
/etc/prayer/accountd.cf Default configuration file. BUGS
prayer-accountd is rather customized to the needs of the University of Cambridge, though some patches have been applied to the Debian pack- age. System administrators should study the source code to see what this means. AUTHORS
