PASSWORD.LUA(8) System Manager's Manual PASSWORD.LUA(8) NAME password.lua -- FreeBSD password module DESCRIPTION password.lua contains functionality for prompting for and checking passwords. Before using the functionality provided by password.lua, it must be in- cluded with a statement such as the following: local password = require("password") The following functions are exported from password.lua: password.read(prompt_length) Read a password following a prompt. prompt_length is re- quired so that the twiddle may be properly drawn as the user is typing. password.check() Drives the primary password checks done by the loader. The password.check() function will check bootlock_password, geom_eli_passphrase_prompt, and password and prompt the user for passwords as-needed. If password is set, the autoboot sequence will begin as the user is prompted for a password.
