DESCRIPTION
YARD RADIUS
builddbm
is a program that builds
the GDBM format of the `users' file,
which could be used in conjunction with the
radiusd
`-b' flag.
The users file should resides in the standard configuration
directory, as selected at configuration time. It should be
run as root. Be also sure to set mode 600 for the `users'
file as well as the resulting `users.db'.
OPTIONS
-d directory
Changes the source `users' file directory. The default value
is /usr/conf. The destination directory of `users.db' is the
same one.
-h
Prints out usage of the command.
-v
Prints version information.
-l file
Changes the logging file.
-x
Prints (or should do so) debugging messages while compiling.
