TESTAUTH(8)

NAME
testauth - Check for syntax errors in access control list

SYNOPSIS
testauth [ -dv ] <user>

DESCRIPTION
testauth is a test program to try to see what Brimstone does to authenticate various users. It should performs the same as the clients running on the firewall so that the administrator can find problems without getting tangled with client issues.

OPTIONS

-d  turn on debugging. Probably not a wise thing to do unless you are *really* doing low level debugging.

-v  Make verbose. You will probably want to do this if there are problems since it tells you useful things like what errors occured.

ENVIRONMENTAL VARIABLES
TESTAUTH understands the following environmental variables.

BS_CLIENT_CONF location of configuration file containing configuration variables as described below.

BS_ACL_CONF location of Brimstone Access Control List (local mode only) which contains the defintions and restrictions on users.

BS_RMNT_CONF location of the client/server configuration file (client/server mode only).

FILES
/etc/bs.client.conf client configuration file.

/etc/bs.acl.conf Brimstone Access Control List.

/etc/bs.rmnt.conf Client/Server configuration file

SEE ALSO
bs.acl.conf(5) testconfig(8) checkconfig(8)

BUGS
Ignores requests from Brimstone to perform different echo characteristics (which makes it much easier on the administrator doing tests).
