23 pwmd \- serve clients sensitive data
26 [\-hv] [\-M] [\-l <log_file>] [\-C cache_size>] [\-s <socket_path>] [-d <data_directory>]
30 is a daemon that listens for connections on a local socket. Clients connect to
31 the server and can get or modify "account" data. The data is stored in an
32 encrypted XML file on the local filesystem.
37 Listen on the specified socket. The default is \fB~/.pwmd/socket\fR.
39 .I "\-d data_directory"
42 should store and retrieve data files. The default is \fB~/.pwmd\fR.
47 If you have resource limits beyond your control and
49 is taking to much physical memory then this option may help at the cost of
50 security. The data may be swapped to virtual memory and later recovered.
51 Reguardless of this option
53 will still be used for the file cache.
56 Specfies the size of the file cache. Must be in multiples of your systems
57 \fBPAGE_SIZE\fR. The default is one page which on Linux-x86 is 4096 or 113
61 Logs informational messages to the specified file.
72 Clears the entire file cache.
77 Default data directory.
80 Default listening socket.
82 .B /dev/shm/pwmd.<uid>
83 On Linux, and maybe other systems, where the file cache is stored.
