lppasswd

lppasswd(1)						      Easy Software Products						       lppasswd(1)

NAME

       lppasswd - add, change, or delete digest passwords.

SYNOPSIS

       lppasswd [ -a ] [ -g groupname ] [ -x ] [ username ]

DESCRIPTION

       lppasswd  adds, changes, or deletes passwords in the CUPS digest password file, passwd.md5. When run by a normal user, lppasswd will prompt
       for the old and new passwords. When run by the super-user, lppasswd can add new accounts (-a username),	change	existing  accounts  (user-
       name),  or  delete accounts (-x username) in the digest password file. Digest usernames do not have to match local UNIX usernames, but only
       UNIX usernames are supported by the CUPS client programs (lp(1), lpr(1), etc.)

       The -g option specifies a group other than the system group - "sys", "system", or "root", depending on the operating system.

SECURITY ISSUES

       The lppasswd command is installed setuid to root. While every attempt has been made to make it secure against  exploits	that  could  grant
       super-user priviledges to unpriviledged users, paranoid system administrators may wish to disable or change the ownership of the program to
       an unpriviledged account.
