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.
              Otherwise, 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(7) for a description of Kerberos environment variables.
