NAME

       tac_pwd - generate DES or MD5 encryption of a password

SYNOPSIS

       tac_pwd [-ehm] [salt]

DESCRIPTION

       tac_pwd  prompts  for a clear-text password and produces a DES encryption of that password
       on  stdout  which  may  be  used  in  lieu  of  the  clear-text  representation   in   the
       tac_plus.conf(5).

       The DES salt may be provided as a command-line argument.

COMMAND-LINE OPTIONS

       -e     Do not echo the plain-text password to the terminal.

       -h     Display help message.

       -m     Generate  an  MD5  encryption,  instead of DES.  This only works if crypt() on your
              host supports MD5.
