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.
