KPASSWDD(8)		    System Manager's Manual		   KPASSWDD(8)

NAME
       kpasswdd	-- Kerberos 5 password changing	server

SYNOPSIS
       kpasswdd		[--addresses=address]	     [--check-library=library]
		[--check-function=function] [-k	kspec  |  --keytab=kspec]  [-r
		realm |	--realm=realm] [-p string | --port=string] [--version]
		[--help]

DESCRIPTION
       kpasswdd	 serves	 request  for password changes.	It listens on UDP port
       464 (service kpasswd) and  processes  requests  when  they  arrive.  It
       changes	the  database  directly	and should thus	only run on the	master
       KDC.

       Supported options:

       --addresses=address
	       For each	till the argument is given, add	the  address  to  what
	       kpasswdd	should listen too.

       --check-library=library
	       If  your	 system	 has support for dynamic loading of shared li-
	       braries,	you can	use an external	 function  to  check  password
	       quality.	This option specifies which library to load.

       --check-function=function
	       This  is	 the function to call in the loaded library. The func-
	       tion should look	like this:

	       const char * passwd_check(krb5_context context,	krb5_principal
	       principal, krb5_data *password)

	       context	is  an	initialized  context; principal	is the one who
	       tries to	change passwords, and password is  the	new  password.
	       Note  that  the password	(in password->data) is not zero	termi-
	       nated.

       -k kspec, --keytab=kspec
	       Keytab to get authentication key	from.

       -r realm, --realm=realm
	       Default realm.

       -p string, --port=string
	       Port to listen on (default service kpasswd - 464).

DIAGNOSTICS
       If an error occurs, the error message is	returned to  the  user	and/or
       logged to syslog.

BUGS
       The default password quality checks are too basic.
