22 afp_signature.conf \- Configuration file used by afpd(8) to specify server signature
25 :ETCDIR:/afp_signature\&.conf
26 is the configuration file used by
28 to specify server signature automagically\&. The configuration lines are composed like:
33 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\&.
35 The leading spaces and tabs are ignored\&. Blank lines are ignored\&. The lines prefixed with # are ignored\&. The illegal lines are ignored\&.
41 .nr an-no-space-flag 1
49 Server Signature is unique 16\-bytes identifier used to prevent logging on to the same server twice\&.
51 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\&.
53 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\&.
55 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 user:xxxx" in afpd\&.conf\&. In this case, afp_signature\&.conf is not used\&.
