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 charac-
       ters.)

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

ENVIRONMENT
       See kerberos(7) for a description of Kerberos environment variables.
