Configuration file reference
============================

The configuration file is formatted in XML and subdivided in 4 sections:

* Default options, shared among every device, user and service
* Devices declaration and settings
* Users declaration and settings
* Services declaration and settings

The syntax is the following:

```xml
<configuration>
    <defaults>
        <!-- default options -->
    </defaults>

    <devices>
        <!-- devices definitions -->
    </devices>

    <users>
        <!-- users definitions -->
    </users>

    <services>
        <!-- services definitions -->
    </services>
</configuration>
```

</service>
```

Location of the configuration file
----------------------------------

By default, pam_usb.so and its tools will look for the configuration file at `/etc/security/pam_usb.conf`. 

If you want to use a different location, you will have to use the `-c` flag.

    # /etc/pam.d/common-auth
    auth    sufficient      pam_usb.so -c /some/other/path.conf
    auth    required        pam_unix.so nullok_secure

You will also have to use the -c option when calling pam_usb's tools.

    pamusb-agent -c /some/other/path.conf
