Russ Allbery e3dfba8e6c 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
The file kaserverauxdb records failed authentication attempts
for the local Authentication Server. The server creates it
automatically in the B</usr/afs/local> directory by default; use
the B<-localfiles> argument to the B<kaserver> command to
specify an alternate directory.
The 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 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.
