It is primarily used to manage the \fIowampd.pfs\fR file for \fBowampd\fR. .PP If the \fI\-d\fR option is not specified, then \fBpfstore\fR prompts the caller for a pass-phrase. The pass-phrase is hex-encoded and saved in the \fIpfsfile\fR with the associated \fIidentity\fR. If the given \fIidentity\fR already exists in the \fIpfsfile\fR, the previous pass-phrase is overwritten with the new one. .PP \fIpfsfiles\fR generated by \fBpfstore\fR are formatted for use with \fBOWAMP\fR. .SH PFSFILE FORMAT \fBpfstore\fR generates lines of the format: .LP test 54b0c58c7ce9f2a8b551351102ee0938 .PP An \fIidentity\fR, followed by whitespace, followed by a variable-length hex-encoded pass-phrase. .PP No other text is allowed on these lines; however, comment lines may be added. Comment lines are any line where the first non-white space character is '\fB#\fR'. .SH EXAMPLES \fBpfstore \-f /etc/owampd/owampd.pfs testuser\fP .IP Adds a pass-phrase for the identity \fItestuser\fR. The user is prompted for a pass-phrase. If the file does not exist, an error message will be printed and no action will be taken. .LP \fBpfstore \-f /etc/owampd/owampd.pfs \-n testuser\fP .IP Creates the file before doing the same as above. If the file already exists, an error message will be printed and no action will be taken. .LP \fBpfstore \-f /etc/owampd/owampd.pfs \-d testuser\fP .IP Deletes the identity \fItestuser\fR from the pfsfile. If the file does not exist, an error message will be printed and no action will be taken. .LP .SH SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS The pass-phrases in the \fIpfsfile\fR are not encrypted in any way; they are simply hex-encoded. The security of these pass-phrases is completely dependent upon the security of the filesystem and the discretion of the system administrator. .SH RESTRICTIONS \fIidentity\fR names are restricted to 80 characters. .SH SEE ALSO owping(1), owampd(1), owampd(1) and the \%http://e2epi.internet2.edu/owamp web site. .SH ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This material is based, in part, on work supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under Grant No. ANI-0314723.
