NAME

       cvm-pwfile - POSIX-style passwd file module

SYNOPSIS

       cvm-pwfile

CREDENTIALS

       Pass phrase

DESCRIPTION

       This  module  loads  entries  from an alternate password file using the
       fgetpwent(3) API, which requires the file to be formatted the  same  as
       the UNIX /etc/passwd file.  No group name lookups are done.

CONFIGURATION VARIABLES

       CVM_PWFILE_PATH
              the   path   to   the  passwd  file  containing  the  credential
              information.

       CVM_PWFILE_PWCMP (optional)
              The password comparison module to use.  If it is  not  set,  the
              default  password  comparison  mode  is plain-text.  To use UNIX
              crypt style  passwords,  like  /etc/passwd  does,  set  this  to
              "crypt".
