KPASSWDD(8)

NAME
kpasswdd - Kerberos 5 password changing server

SYNOPSIS
kpasswdd

DESCRIPTION
kpasswdd servers request for password changes. It listens on UDP port 464 (service kpasswd) and processes requests when they arrive. It changes the database directly and should thus only run on the master KDC.

DIAGNOSTICS
If an error occurs, the error message is returned to the user and/or logged to syslog.

BUGS
The password quality checks are too basic. It should probably use cracklib or something similar.
