NAME

       afppasswd - netatalk password maintenance utility

SYNOPSIS

       afppasswd [ -acfn ] [ -p passwd file ] [ -u minimum uid ]

DESCRIPTION

       afppasswd allows the maintenance of afppasswd files created by netatalk for use by some User Authentication Modules (UAMs)

       afppasswd  can  either  be  called by root with parameters, or can be called by local system users with no parameters to change their pass-
       words.

EXAMPLE

       Local user changing their own password:

		   example% afppasswd
		   Enter NEW AFP password: (hidden)
		   Enter NEW AFP password again: (hidden)
		   afppasswd: updated password.

OPTIONS

       -a     Add a new user to the afppasswd file.

       -c     Create and/or initialize afppasswd file or specific user.

       -f     Force the current action.

       -p path
	      Path to afppasswd file.

       -n     If cracklib support is built into netatalk this option will cause cracklib checking to be disabled, if the superuser does  not  want
	      to have the password run against the cracklib dictionary.

       -u minimum uid
	      This is the minimum user id (uid) that afppasswd will use when creating users.
