fs_passwd

+You may use fs_passwd/fs_passwd as a "passwd", "chfn" and "chsh" replacement on your shell machine(s) to cause password, gecos and shell changes to update your freeside machine. This can pose a security risk if not configured correctly. Do not use this feature unless you understand what you are doing! +

Currently it is assumed that the the crypt(3) function in the C library is the same on the Freeside machine as on the target machine. +

Create a freeside account on the shell machine(s). +
Append the identity.pub from the freeside user on your freeside machine to the authorized_keys file of the newly created freeside user on the shell machine(s). +
Copy fs_passwd/fs_passwd to /usr/local/bin on the shell machine(s). (chown freeside, chmod 4755). You may link it to passwd, chfn and chsh as well. +
Copy fs_passwd/fs_passwdd to /usr/local/sbin on the shell machine(s). (chown freeside, chmod 500) +
Create /usr/local/freeside on the shell machine(s). (chown freeside, chmod 700) +
Run an iteration of "fs_passwd/fs_passwd_server shell.machine" as the freeside user for each shell machine (this is a daemon process). +
