Description
The maxpasswd utility takes a path to directory or a .secrets file as an optional argument:
$ maxpasswd --help
|
usage: maxpasswd [-h|--help] [path] password
|
|
This utility creates an encrypted password using a .secrets file
|
that has earlier been created using maxkeys.
|
|
-h, --help: Display this help.
|
|
path : The directory where the .secrets file is located, or the path
|
of the .secrets file itself. Note that the name of the file
|
must be .secrets.
|
|
If a path is not provided, the .secrets file is looked for in the
|
directory /var/lib/maxscale.
