description
The
iceauth program is used to edit and display the
authorization information used in connecting with ICE. This

from one machine and merge them in on another (as is the
case when using remote logins or granting access to other
users). Commands (described below) may be entered
interactively, on the iceauth command line, or in
scripts.
