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.

SEE ALSO
     crypt(3), tac_plus(8), tac_plus.conf(5)
