NAME
       lppasswd - add, change, or delete digest passwords.

SYNOPSIS
       lppasswd [ -a ] [ -g groupname ] [ -x ] [ username ]

DESCRIPTION
       lppasswd	 adds,	changes, or deletes passwords in the CUPS digest pass‐
       word file, passwd.md5. When run by a normal user, lppasswd will	prompt
       for the old and new passwords. When run by the super-user, lppasswd can
       add new accounts (-a username), change existing accounts (username), or
       delete accounts (-x username) in the digest password file. Digest user‐
       names do not have to match local UNIX usernames, but  only  UNIX	 user‐
       names are supported by the CUPS client programs (lp(1), lpr(1), etc.)

       The  -g	option	specifies a group other than the system group - "sys",
       "system", or "root", depending on the operating system.

SECURITY ISSUES
       The lppasswd command is installed setuid to root. While	every  attempt
       has  been  made	to  make  it  secure against exploits that could grant
       super-user priviledges to unpriviledged users, paranoid system adminis‐
       trators	may  wish to disable or change the ownership of the program to
       an unpriviledged account.
