.Os
|
|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm check-password.4th
|
|
.Nd FreeBSD password-checking boot module
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The file that goes by the name of
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is a set of commands designed to prevent booting without the proper password.
|
|
The commands of
|
|
.Nm
|
|
by themselves are not enough for most uses.
|
|
Please refer to the
|
|
examples below for the most common situations, and to
|
|
.Xr loader 8
|
|
for additional commands.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Before using any of the commands provided in
|
|
.Nm ,
|
|
it must be included
|
|
through the command:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl include check-password.4th
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This line is present in
|
|
.Pa /boot/loader.4th
|
|
file, so it is not needed (and should not be re-issued) in a normal setup.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The commands provided by it are:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -tag -width disable-module_module -compact -offset indent
|
|
.It Ic check-password
|
|
Once called, the user cannot continue until the correct password is entered.
|
|
If the user enters the correct password the function returns.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The password that is required is configured by setting the
|
|
.Ic password
|
|
variable in
|
|
.Xr loader.conf 5 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Subsequent calls after a successful password
|
|
has been entered will not cause reprompting
|
|
\(em the function will silently return.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The environment variables that effect its behavior are:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width bootfile -offset indent
|
|
.It Va password
|
|
Sets the password (up to 16 characters long) that is required by
|
|
.Ic check-password
|
|
to be entered before the system is allowed to boot. If unset (default) or NULL,
|
|
.Ic check-password
|
|
will silently abort.
