NAME
       xlogin-makeidentity - Create an identity file for use with xlogin's -identity option

SYNOPSIS
       xlogin-makeidentity [-h] [-help] [-user <username>] [-pass <password>] [-conf <name>]

DESCRIPTION
       When used with command line arguments the program is interactive. It creates an identity file
       that contains an encrypted version of the username and password supplied.  This utility in no
       way checks if those credentials are valid.

       For clarity xlogin-makeidentity displays the name of the identity file its created.  Creating
       a username the same as an existing username will cause the file to be overwritten.


OPTIONS
       -h or -help or --help
              display a short help text

       -user  Specify a username

       -pass  Specify a password

       -conf  Use this path for xlogin files rather than the default /etc/xlogin



BUGS
       It's considered poor practice for a utility to allow passwords to be passed  on  the  command
       line.  In this case I overlook that for ease of use when scripting.
