SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

       bnpass  is  a  small  utility which will output the ASCII hashed version of the clear text
       password in the same format as used in bnetd  account  files.   This  may  be  useful  for
       writing a script to generate accounts or to reset a password in the bnetd user database.

       If  cleartextpassword  is not specified you will be prompted to enter it into the standard
       input.

       -v --version
              Print its version number and exit.

       --     Signal end of options.  Any further arguments will be treated as passwords even  if
              they begin with a "-".
