NAME¶
yapet_config - format of YAPET configuration fileDESCRIPTION¶
yapet(1) reads the configuration file $HOME/.yapet if it exists unless a different file is specified by using the -r option (see yapet(1)). Options given on the command line override options given in a configuration file. The configuration file has the following syntax:option=value
(String) Set custom colors. See yapet_colors(5)
for more information.
load
(String) The file to load upon start of yapet.
Equivalent to providing a filename when invoking yapet.
A ~ (tilde) sign as the first character of the pathname will be replaced
by the home directory of the user running yapet.
Default: not set
locktimeout
(Integer) A positive integer specifying the time of
inactivity in seconds until the screen is locked.
Equivalent to providing the -t option when invoking yapet.
Default: 600
pwinputtimeout
(Integer) A positive integer specifying the time of
inactivity in seconds until the password prompt for unlocking the screen will
disappear.
Default: 60
allowlockquit
(Boolean) A value of true allows the user to quit
yapet from the locked screen (if no changes are pending). A value of
false prevents the user from quitting yapet when the screen is locked.
Default: true
checkfsecurity
(Boolean) A value of true enables the verification of the
file owner and permissions when loading a file. A value of false disables the
verification of the file owner and permissions when loading a file.
Equivalent to providing the -S (same as true) or -s (same as
false) options when invoking yapet.
Default: true
pwgen_rng
(String) The random number generator used to generate
passwords. Possible values are
devrandom
pwgen_pwlen
Request using /dev/random. This is a high-quality random
number generator. However, if the system lacks entropy, reading from this
device may block, thus making yapet unresponsive.
devurandom
Request using /dev/urandom. This is a quality random
number generator similar to /dev/random but not of the same quality.
Using this random number generator will not block as opposite to
/dev/random.
lrand48
Request using lrand48. This is a low-quality random
number generator and should be used only if none of the above two random
number generators are available.
rand
Request using rand. This is a last resort random number
generator and should not be used.
If the random number generator requested is not available on the system,
yapet takes the next best random number generator.
Default: devurandom(Integer) A positive integer greater than zero specifying
the default password length used by the Password Generator Dialog.
Default: 15
pwgen_letters
(Boolean) A value of true will preselect the Letters
check box of the Password Generator Dialog. false does not preselect the
Letters check box.
Default: true
pwgen_digits
(Boolean) A value of true will preselect the Digits check
box of the Password Generator Dialog. false does not preselect the Digits
check box.
Default: true
pwgen_punct
(Boolean) A value of true will preselect the Punctuation
check box of the Password Generator Dialog. false does not preselect the
Punctuation check box.
Default: true
pwgen_special
(Boolean) A value of true will preselect the Special
check box of the Password Generator Dialog. false does not preselect the
Special check box.
Default: true
pwgen_other
(Boolean) A value of true will preselect Other check box
of the Password Generator Dialog. false does not preselect the Other check
box.
Default: false
For Boolean values, 1, yes, true, enable, and enabled denote true. 0, false, no,
disable, disabled denote false. Please note, Boolean values are
case-sensitive.
See the section called “EXAMPLES” for examples of configuration
files.
EXAMPLES¶
Example 1. Example of an yapet configuration fileload=/home/joe/passwords locktimeout=300 checkfsecurity=0 pwgen_pwlen=8
locktimeout=150 checkfsecurity=yes pwgen_other=enable
load=~/passwords.pet locktimeout=300 checkfsecurity=false pwgen_pwlen=8
FILES¶
$HOME/.yapetThe per-user configuration file. If existing, options are
read from this file but can be overridden by the command line options.
Processing of this file can be disabled by invoking yapet with the
-i option.
