# Re: JSON-RPC password

Still need to know what's the most typical settings file format on Linux. &nbsp;Is there a standard file extension? &nbsp;I've never seen a settings file using JSON, and it doesn't look very human friendly with everything required to be in quotes. &nbsp;I think what I usually see is like:<br>
\# comment<br>
setting=value

Is there a settings file thing in Boost?

When you're using bitcoind to issue commands from the command line as a client, can we have it get the password from the settings file then too?

Gavin pointed out I forgot to increment the column of numbers in CommandLineRPC, so the current -rpcpw= implementation doesn't work right from the command line with non-string parameters. &nbsp;(JSON-RPC is fine) &nbsp;Still under construction.
