NAME
       kpasswd - change a user's Kerberos password

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/bin/kpasswd [principal]

DESCRIPTION
       The  kpasswd command is used to change a Kerberos principal's password.
       kpasswd prompts for the current Kerberos password,  which  is  used  to
       obtain  a  changepw  ticket from the KDC for the user's Kerberos realm.
       If kpasswd successfully	obtains	 the  changepw	ticket,	 the  user  is
       prompted 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.)

OPERANDS
       The following operand is supported:

       principal

	   Change  the	password  for the Kerberos principal principal. Other‐
	   wise, the principal is derived from the identity of the user invok‐
	   ing the kpasswd command.

FILES
       /tmp/ovsec_adm.xxxxxx

	   Temporary credentials cache for the lifetime of the password chang‐
	   ing operation. (xxxxxx is a random string.)
