| 11 | .SH NAME | |
| 12 | kpasswd \- change a user's Kerberos password | |
| 13 | .SH SYNOPSIS | |

| 16 | .B \-h | |
| 17 | ] [ | |
| 18 | .B \-u | |

| 24 | .SH DESCRIPTION | |
| 25 | The | |
| 26 | .I kpasswd | |
| 27 | command is used to change a Kerberos principal's password. | |
| 28 | .PP | |
| 29 | If the | |
| 30 | .I \-h | |
| 31 | option is specified, a brief summary of the options is printed, and | |
| 32 | .I kpasswd | |
| 33 | then exits. | |
| 34 | .PP | |
| 35 | If the | |
| 36 | .I \-u | |
| 37 | option is specified, | |
| 38 | .I username | |
| 39 | is used as the principal name, rather than the username of the user | |
| 40 | running | |
| 41 | .IR kpasswd . | |
| 42 | .PP | |
| 43 | If the | |
| 44 | .I \-i | |
| 45 | option is specified, | |
| 46 | .I instance | |
| 47 | is used as the instance, rather than a null instance. | |
| 48 | .PP | |
| 49 | ||
| 50 | The utility prompts for the current Kerberos password (printing | |
| 51 | the name of the principal for which it intends to change the password), | |
| 52 | which is verified by the Kerberos server. If the old password is | |
| 53 | correct, the user is prompted twice for the new password. A message is | |
| 54 | printed indicating the success or failure of the password changing | |
| 55 | operation. | |

| 59 | .SH BUGS | |
| 60 | .I kpasswd | |
| 61 | should take the default name and instance from the current ticket file | |
| 62 | rather than by using the Unix username. |
