man-page-conversion-20051208 This is the initial conversion of the AFS Adminstrators Reference into POD for use as man pages. The man pages are now generated via pod2man from regen.sh so that only those working from CVS have to have pod2man available. The Makefile only installs. The pages have also been sorted out into pod1, pod5, and pod8 directories, making conversion to the right section of man page easier without maintaining a separate list and allowing for names to be duplicated between pod5 and pod1 or pod8 (which will likely be needed in a few cases). This reconversion is done with a new script based on work by Chas Williams. In some cases, the output is worse than the previous POD pages, but this is a more comprehensive conversion. This is only the first step, and this initial conversion has various problems. In addition, the file man pages that didn't have simple names have not been converted in this pass and will be added later. Some of the man pages have syntax problems and all of them have formatting errors. The next editing pass, coming shortly, will clean up most of the remaining mess.

=head1 NAME
kaserverauxdb - Records failed authentication attempts
=head1 DESCRIPTION
man5-editing-pass-20051213 This completes the first editing pass of the man pages. Very little content editing has been done, but the server and client versions of various man pages have been combined into a single man page for the file (affects CellServDB, ThisCell, NetInfo, and NetRestrict), the descriptions of the various AFS cache files have been combined into one afs_cache man page, and the descriptions of the two butc log files have been combined into one butc_logs man page. For man pages for databases with two files, symlinks are now created on installation for the secondary file name. All of the man pages should now be ready for public review, additional editing and cleanup, and content editing.

The file F<kaserverauxdb> records failed authentication attempts for the
local Authentication Server. The server creates it automatically in the
F</usr/afs/local> directory by default; use the B<-localfiles> argument to
the B<kaserver> command to specify an alternate directory.
The F<kaserverauxdb> file is an internal database used by the
Authentication Server to prevent access by users who have exceeded the
limit on failed authentication attempts defined in their Authentication
Database entry. The Authentication Server refuses further attempts to
authenticate to an account listed in the database until either an AFS
system administrator issues the B<kas unlock> command to unlock the
account, or the timeout period defined in the user's Authentication
Database entry passes.
The F<kaserverauxdb> file is in binary format, so its contents are not
directly accessible. However, the output from the B<kas examine> command
reports an account's maximum number of failed attempts, the lockout time,
and whether the account is currently locked.

Add warnings for Authentication Server commands For each command only useful with the Authentication Server, add warnings that the Authentication Server is obsolete and will be removed in a future version of OpenAFS. Encourage people who care to update uss to work with a modern Kerberos KDC, recommend kinit and aklog or klog.krb5 over klog, and warn that klog will be of limited use without an Authentication Server.

The Authentication Server is obsolete and is provided only for sites that
need to use it while preparing for a migration to Kerberos KDC. It will be
removed in a future version of OpenAFS.
