There is one entry per line, and each line has the format:
server:database:username:password
Lines beginning with '#' are treated as comments and ignored. Empty lines are allowed and ignored. Invalid entries are silently ignored. In case the file contains several valid entries, only the last one will be taken into account. Each field in this file can be individually overriden by command-line options (see sms_serv(1) for more details). For obvious security reasons, please keep this file with an access mode of 600, owned by the user running sms_serv(1) .
The field descriptions are:
- server
- The name of the host server where the database lives. In case this field is left empty, the name "localhost" will be assumed.
- database
- The name of the database instance to be accessed.
- username
- The name of the user whose identity will be used to connect to the database.
- password
- The password of the user whose identity will be used to connect to the database.
