29 allows the maintenance of afppasswd files created by netatalk for use by the uams_randnum\&.so UAM (providing the "Randnum exchange" and "2\-Way Randnum exchange" User Authentication Modules)\&.
32 can either be called by root with parameters, or can be called by local system users with no parameters to change their AFP passwords\&.

46 With this utility you can only change the passwords used by two specific UAMs\&. As they provide only weak password encryption, the use of the "Randnum exchange" and "2\-Way Randnum exchange" UAMs is deprecated unless one has to support very old AFP clients, that can not deal with the more secure "DHCAST128" UAM instead\&. Please compare with the
47 Authentication chapter
48 inside Netatalk\'s documentation\&.
