yapet_config - format of a YAPET configuration file

Rafael Ostertag rafi@guengel.ch.

yapet(1) reads the configuration file $HOME/.yapet if it exists unless a different file is specified by using the -r option, see yapet(1). Options given on the command line override options given in a configuration file. The configuration file has the following syntax: option=value where option can be any of the following: colors (String) Set custom colors. See yapet_colors(5) for more information. load (String) The file to load upon start of yapet. Equivalent to providing a filename when invoking yapet. A ~ (tilde) sign as the first character of the pathname will be replaced by the home directory of the user running yapet. Default: not set locktimeout (Integer) A positive integer specifying the time of inactivity in seconds until the screen is locked. Equivalent to providing the -t option when invoking yapet. Default: 600 pwinputtimeout (Integer) A positive integer specifying the time of inactivity in seconds until the password prompt for unlocking the screen will disappear. Default: 60 allowlockquit (Boolean) A value of true allows the user to quit yapet from the locked screen (if no changes are pending). A value of false prevents the user from quitting yapet when the screen is locked. Default: truecheckfsecurity (Boolean) A value of true enables the verification of the file owner and permissions when loading a file. A value of false disables the verification of the file owner and permissions when loading a file. Equivalent to providing the -S (same as true) or -s (same as false) options when invoking yapet. Default: truepwgen_pwlen (Integer) A positive integer greater than zero specifying the default password length used by the Password Generator Dialog. Default: 15 pwgen_letters (Boolean) A value of true will preselect the Letters check box of the Password Generator Dialog. Default: truepwgen_digits (Boolean) A value of true will preselect the Digits check box of the Password Generator Dialog. Default: truepwgen_punct (Boolean) A value of true will preselect the Punctuation check box of the Password Generator Dialog. Default: truepwgen_special (Boolean) A value of true will preselect the Special check box of the Password Generator Dialog. Default: truepwgen_other (Boolean) A value of true will preselect Other check box of the Password Generator Dialog. Default: falseargon2_memory (Integer) Memory used by the Argon2 hash algorithm in KB. Default: 262144 argon2_parallelism (Integer) Number of threads used by the Argon2 hash algorithm. Default: 16 argon2_iterations (Integer) Number of iterations performed by the Argon2 hash algorithm. Default: 5 For Boolean values, 1, yes, true, enable, and enabled denote true. 0, false, no, disable, disabled denote false. Please note, Boolean values are case-sensitive. The argon2_* options only take effect when creating a new file or changing the master password of an existing file.

Exampleofanyapetconfigurationfile load=/home/joe/passwords locktimeout=300 checkfsecurity=0 pwgen_pwlen=8 In this example, the file /home/joe/passwords will be loaded upon invocation of yapet. The timeout until the screen is locked is set to 300 seconds. File permissions will not be verified. The Password Generator Dialog will have preset the PasswordLength to 8 characters. Exampleofanyapetconfigurationfile locktimeout=150 checkfsecurity=yes pwgen_other=enable In this example, no file will be automatically loaded upon invocation of yapet. The timeout until the screen is locked is set to 150 seconds. File permissions and owner will be verified. The Password Generator Dialog will have preset the Other check box checked. Example1revisited load=~/passwords.pet locktimeout=300 checkfsecurity=false pwgen_pwlen=8 This example has the same effect as Example of an yapet configuration file. But instead of specifying the full path to the home directory, the ~ (tilde) sign is used, which is expanded to the home directory automatically. The .pet suffix can be specified, but if omitted it will be appended automatically.
