NAME
snkcards - SecureNet Key access card assignment database

DESCRIPTION

The snkcards file contains information on the assignment of SecureNet Key access card assignments. Each line in the file defines one such assignment and consists of two fields separated by a colon (:). The first field is a username and the second field is an identifier unique to the card, typically the card's serial number. Comment lines are indicated by an initial pound sign (#).

The SNK access routines, when verifying a login via an SNK card, will first look in this file (located in /etc) for a card assignment. If none is found, then the NIS map snkcards.byname will be consulted. Once a card serial number has been located, the file snkkeys is consulted for determination of the actual encryption key.
