+.SH NAME
+afserver.conf \- Configuration File for afserver
+.SH INTRODUCTION
+.B Afserver
+supports several mechanisms to supply configuration and run-time parameters: command line options,
+.B afserver.conf
+and hard-coded defaults. When the same information is supplied in more than one way, the highest precedence mechanism is used. When configuration file is used (option:
+.IR "-f FILE")
+command line options like
+.IR --hostname ,
+.IR --listenport ,
+.I --manageport
+and
+.I --pass
+are ignored. Options from configuration file are taken before values from command line (with the exception of
+.IR --cerfile ,
+.I --keyfile
+and
+.I --dateformat
+). When something is not declared, hard-coded values are used.
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B Afserver
+uses configuration file, which name is supplied by the
+.I -f FILE
+option. The
+.B afserver.conf
+file is composed of two sections which have to be in fixed order. In first section global values like cerfile, keyfile and logging options are set. The second section starts with first
+.B realm
+command and includes options describing specific realms. There may be several
+.B realm
+commands.
