Hi there,

So, plowing through cosign.conf(5) and cosignd(8) (not easy reading by
the way, just a feedback), I have a few questions:

1)  In cosign.conf, under the "passwd" keyword, we are instructed to use
regex to specify the kind of username we want to be authenticating.  We
are also told that $1, $2, and $3 are replaced "with the corresponding
parenthesized subexpressions of the regular expression".  Can someone
tell me what on earth all that means, and whether it would be sufficient
to use $1 just for password authentication?

2)  I did not see anywhere in cosign.conf(5) that spells out which
directives/keywords are mandatory and which are optional.  I am guessing
that stuff like "cosignticketlifetime" is probably optional, but I am
just trying to get it to work right now and am looking for the bare
minimum number of directives to get this to interface correctly with our
Windows Active Directory.  Suggestions?

Thanks,
