NAME

       lsh-krb-checkpw - program to check a Kerberos username/password combination

SYNOPSIS

       lsh-krb-checkpw username-to-check

DESCRIPTION

       This  manual  page  documents  briefly  the lsh-krb-checkpw command.  This manual page was
       written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not  have  a  manual
       page.  Instead, it has documentation in the GNU Info format; see below.

       lsh-krb-checkpw  is  a program that checks if a username and password combination is valid
       for login by doing a kerberos lookup. It is designed to  be  used  as  a  password  helper
       program for lshd (8), (eg.  --password-helper=/usr/sbin/lsh-krb-checkpw.

       lsh-krb-checkpw takes one required argument, which is the username, and reads the password
       from stdin, then returns 0 if the password  is  valid,  or  1  otherwise.  Note  that  the
       password  must be supplied exactly, ie. there must be no newline after the password, so if
       invoking from a shell, just type "<your-password><CTRL-D>".

SEE ALSO

       lsh(1), lshd(8).   The programs are documented  fully  by  Lsh,  available  via  the  Info
       system.
