Subject: kermit code to parse .authinfo files?
Date: 04 May 2000 08:37:02 -0400
Organization: Morgan Stanley Dean Witter and Discover
Message-ID: <jqazoq6cx01.fsf@msdw.com>
To: kermit.misc@columbia.edu
Does anyone have a snippet of Kermit code they would be willing to
share to parse .authinfo files? These files are used to store
passwords in home directories. As such, they are not the most secure
thing going, but as long as the .authinfo file is owner-only
permissions, it's not quite as bad.
A .authinfo file looks like this:
machine freddy.blah.com login russe password s0mepassw0rd
machine pubdiscuss.blah.com login russe password s0mepassw0rd
machine usenet.blah.com login russe password s0mepassw0rd
