KPASSWD(1)			  MIT Kerberos			      KPASSWD(1)

NAME
     kpasswd - change a user's Kerberos password

SYNOPSIS
     kpasswd [principal]

DESCRIPTION
     The  kpasswd  command  is	used  to change a Kerberos principal's password.
     kpasswd first prompts for the current Kerberos password, then  prompts  the
     user twice for the new password, and the password is changed.

     If  the  principal is governed by a policy that specifies the length and/or
     number of character classes required in the new password, the new	password
     must  conform  to	the policy.  (The five character classes are lower case,
     upper case, numbers, punctuation, and all other characters.)

OPTIONS
     principal
	    Change the password for the Kerberos  principal  principal.   Other-
	    wise,  kpasswd  uses  the  principal name from an existing ccache if
	    there is one; if not, the principal is derived from the identity  of
	    the user invoking the kpasswd command.

ENVIRONMENT
     See kerberos for a description of Kerberos environment variables.
