NAME

       lsh-pam-checkpw - program to check a PAM username/password combination

SYNOPSIS

       lsh-pam-checkpw username-to-check

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the lsh-pam-checkpw command.	This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the orig-
       inal program does not have a manual page.  Instead, it has documentation in the GNU Info format; see below.

       lsh-pam-checkpw is a program that checks if a username and password combination is valid for login by doing a PAM lookup. It is designed to
       be used as a password helper program for lshd (8), (eg.	--password-helper=/usr/sbin/lsh-pam-checkpw.

       lsh-pam-checkpw	takes  one  required argument, which is the username, and reads the password from stdin, then returns 0 if the password is
       valid, or 1 otherwise. Note that the password must be supplied exactly, ie. there must be no newline after the  password,  so  if  invoking
       from a shell, just type "<your-password><CTRL-D>".

SEE ALSO

       lsh(1), lshd(8).   The programs are documented fully by Lsh, available via the Info system.
