AUTHTEST(1)			 S. Varshavchik.		     AUTHTEST(1)

NAME
     authtest - Test the Courier Authentication Library

SYNOPSIS
     authtest {loginid} [password] [newpassword]

DESCRIPTION
     authtest  is  a command-line diagnostic utility for the Courier Authentica-
     tion Library.  authtest requires at least one argument: loginid.	authtest
     sends  the  authentication  request  to the Courier Authentication Library,
     then displays the results. Only root may  use  authtest  utility,	and  the
     Courier   Authentication  Library	daemon	(authdaemond)  must  already  be
     started.

     If only one argument is provided, the authentication request  displays  the
     account information for loginid, if found.

     If two arguments are provided, password must match loginid's existing pass-
     word.

     If  three arguments are provided, loginid's password is changed to newpass-
     word, but only if password matches the existing password.

     These three basic authentication requests can be used to  troubleshoot  the
     authentication library's configuration.
