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

NAME
       tac_pwd - generate DES or MD5 encryption	of a password

SYNOPSIS
       tac_pwd [-ehm] [salt]

DESCRIPTION
       tac_pwd prompts for a clear-text	password and produces a	DES encryption
       of  that	password on stdout which may be	used in	lieu of	the clear-text
       representation in the tac_plus.conf(5).

       The DES salt may	be provided as a command-line argument.

COMMAND-LINE OPTIONS
       -e     Do not echo the plain-text password to the terminal.

       -h     Display help message.

       -m     Generate an MD5 encryption, instead of DES.  This	only works  if
	      crypt() on your host supports MD5.
