NAME
       kpasswd - change a user's Kerberos password

SYNOPSIS
       kpasswd [principal]

DESCRIPTION
       The  kpasswd  command  is  used	to  change a Kerberos principal's password.  kpasswd first prompts for the current Kerberos password, then
       prompts the user twice for the new password, and the password is changed.

       If the principal is governed by a policy that specifies the length and/or number of character classes required in the new password, the new
       password  must  conform to the policy.  (The five character classes are lower case, upper case, numbers, punctuation, and all other charac-
       ters.)

OPTIONS
       principal
	      Change the password for the Kerberos principal principal.  Otherwise, kpasswd uses the principal name from  an  existing	ccache	if
	      there is one; if not, the principal is derived from the identity of the user invoking the kpasswd command.
