NAME

       mailer - script to warn users about their weak passwords

SYNOPSIS

       mailer password-files

DESCRIPTION

       This  manual  page  documents briefly the mailer command, which is part of the john package.  This manual
       page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the  original  program  does  not  have  a
       manual  page.   john,  better  known  as  John the Ripper, is a tool to find weak passwords of users in a
       server.
       The mailer tool is useful to inform users which have been found to be using weak passwords by mail.

       You should edit the message mailer will send to the users, but remember to copy  the  script  to  a  safe
       place before editing it, as it's generally a bad idea to modify things living in /usr.

SEE ALSO

       john(8), unafs(8), unique(8), unshadow(8).

       The   programs   are   documented   fully   by   John's  documentation,  which  should  be  available  in
       /usr/share/doc/john or other location, depending on your system.
