NAME
       mkpwdict - maintain password-strength checking database

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/sbin/mkpwdict [-s dict1,... ,dictN]
	    [-d destination-path]

DESCRIPTION
       The  mkpwdict command adds words to the dictionary-lookup database used
       by pam_authtok_check(5) and passwd(1).

       Files containing words to be added to the database can be specified  on
       the  command-line  using	 the -s flag. These source files should have a
       single word per line, much like /usr/share/lib/dict/words.

       If -s is omitted, mkpwdict will use the value of DICTIONLIST  specified
       in /etc/default/passwd (see passwd(1)).

       The database is created in the directory specified by the -d option. If
       this option is omitted, mkpwdict uses the value of DICTIONDBDIR	speci‐
       fied  in	 /etc/default/passwd  (see passwd(1)). The default location is
       /var/passwd.

OPTIONS
       The following options are supported:

       -s
	     Specifies a comma-separated list of files containing words to  be
	     added to the dictionary-lookup database.

       -d
	     Specifies the target location of the dictionary-database.

FILES
       /etc/default/passwd
			      See passwd(1).

       /var/passwd
			      default destination directory
