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". SEE ALSO
