26 The B<kas unlock> command unlocks the Authentication Database entry named
27 by the B<-name> argument. An entry becomes locked when the user exceeds
28 the limit on failed authentication attempts, generally by providing the
29 wrong password to either an AFS-modified login utility or the B<klog>
30 command. Use the B<kas setfields> command to set the limit and the lockout
31 time, and the B<kas examine> command to examine the settings.
33 To unlock all locked user accounts at once, shutdown the B<kaserver>
34 process on every database server machine, and remove the
35 F</usr/afs/local/kaauxdb> file from each one. The B<kaserver> process
36 recreates the file as it restarts.
