Using the lidsadm Utility

The lidsadm utility is a small program you will use to administer your LIDS configuration. It stores all configuration information in/etc/lids/lids.conf. If you are using the GD WebTool for administering LIDS you do not need to use lidsadm.

Some basic lidsadm options are as follows:

• [/sbin/lidsadm -A]Add a new entry

• [/sbin/lidsadm -D]Delete an entry

• [/sbin/lidsadm -Z]Delete all entries

• [/sbin/lidsadm -U]Update all entries

• [/sbin/lidsadm -L]List current entries, requires LIDS to be turned off

• [/sbin/lidsadm -P]Creates a new password. It will store the password in Ripe MD-160 encryption

• [/sbin/lidsadm -S]Switch LIDS on/off and capabilities

• [/sbin/lidsadm -r]View current status of LIDS

• [/sbin/lidsadm -h]Help
