.SH "NAME"
afp_signature.conf \- Configuration file used by afpd(8) to specify server signature
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
:STATEDIR:/netatalk/afp_signature\&.conf
is the configuration file used by
\fBafpd\fR
to specify server signature automagically\&. The configuration lines are composed like:
.PP
\fI"server name"\fR
\fIhexa\-string\fR
.PP
The first field is server name\&. Server names must be quoted if they contain spaces\&. The second field is the hexadecimal string of 32 characters for 16\-bytes server signature\&.
.PP
The leading spaces and tabs are ignored\&. Blank lines are ignored\&. The lines prefixed with # are ignored\&. The illegal lines are ignored\&.

.PP
Server Signature is unique 16\-bytes identifier used to prevent logging on to the same server twice\&.
.PP
Netatalk 2\&.0 and earlier generated server signature by using gethostid()\&. There was a problem that another servers have the same signature because the hostid is not unique enough\&.
.PP
Current netatalk generates the signature from random numbers and saves it into afp_signature\&.conf\&. When starting next time, it is read from this file\&.
.PP
This file should not be thoughtlessly edited and be copied onto another server\&. If it wants to set the signature intentionally, use the option "signature =" in afp\&.conf\&. In this case, afp_signature\&.conf is not used\&.
