NAME¶
twoftpd-auth - TwoFTPD authentication front-end
SYNOPSIS¶
twoftpd-auth cvmodule twoftpd-xfer
DESCRIPTION¶
twoftpd-auth reads a username and password from the network and
  authenticates them using the CVM module 
cvmodule. If the authentication
  succeeds, it sets the environment variables 
UID, 
GID,
  
HOME, and 
USER to the user's UID, GID, home directory, and login
  name respectively, and then executes 
twoftpd-xfer. It also sets
  
GROUP if the CVM reports a group name, and 
AUTHENTICATED to
  
1 (
twoftpd-auth and 
twoftpd-xfer look for this variable
  to determine what startup banner code to use).
