If not configured, the traditinal des algorithmus is used. OPTIONS
-c des|md5|blowfish This option specifies the hash algorithmus, which should be used to encrypt the passwords. -e The passwords are expected to be in encrypted form. Normally the passwords are expected to be cleartext. -D, --binddn binddn Use the Distinguished Name binddn to bind to the LDAP directory. The user will be prompted for a password for simple authentica- tion. -P, --path path The passwd and shadow files are located below the specified directory path. chpasswd will use this files, not /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow.
