SGE_PASSWD(1)						   Sun Grid Engine User Commands					     SGE_PASSWD(1)

NAME

       sgepasswd - Modify the Sun Grid Engine password file of Sun Grid Engine

SYNTAX

       sgepasswd [[ -D domain ] -d user ]

       sgepasswd [ -D domain ] [ user ]

DESCRIPTION

       sgepasswd modifies the Sun Grid Engine password file sgepasswd(5).

       This file contains a list of usernames and their windows password in encrypted form.  sge_execd(8) and sge_shepherd(8) on hosts running Mi-
       crosoft Windows as operating systems use this information to start jobs for a certain user.

       Each user can use the sgepasswd application to add a new entry for the own user account. It is also possible to change the stored  password
       with sgepasswd as far as the user knows the old one.

       The  root  user	additionally  has  the	permission  to	change the password entries for other user accounts. Root can also delete existing
       entries.

       The sgepasswd binary is only available on non-Windows hosts.

OPTIONS

       -D domain
	      Per default sgepasswd will add/modify the current Unix username without domain specification.  This switch can  be  used	to  add  a
	      domain  specification  in front of the current user name. Consult your Microsoft Windows documentation to get more information about
	      domain users.

       -d user
	      Only root can use this parameter to delete entries from the sgepasswd(5) file.

       -help  Prints a listing of all options.

       SGE_KEYFILE    If  set,	specifies  the	location  of the private key file.  Default is /var/sgeCA/port${SGE_QMASTER_PORT}/${SGE_CELL}/pri-
