NAME

6       cpasswd - Change Coda login password

SYNOPSIS

9       cpasswd [ -h host ] [username][@realm]
10

DESCRIPTION

13       This command sets the Coda password for the current user.
14
15       cpasswd  prompts  for the users old password, and then for the new one.
16       The new password must be typed twice,  to  forestall  mistakes.  Change
17       requests  can  be aborted by typing a carriage return when prompted for
18       the new password.
19
20       cpasswd won't be able to change the  users  password  if  the  password
21       server is down.  An appropriate error message will be printed, advising
22       the caller to try again later.  Once the password  server  acknowledges
23       receipt  the  users  new  password, it should not take too link for the
24       information to propagate to the entire set of Authentication Servers.
25
26       cpasswd supports the following option:
27
28       -h     Tells cpasswd which host to bind to. This should be the SCM.
29
30       [username][@realm]
31              Coda user name and the realm of the user whose password you want
32              to  change.  If the username is not specified, clog tries to use
33              the local login name. If the Coda realm name  is  not  specified
34              clog  falls back to using the default realm name as specified in
35              the venus.conf configuration file.
