6 kpasswd - change a user's Kerberos password

9 kpasswd [principal]
10
12 The kpasswd command is used to change a Kerberos principal's password.
13 kpasswd first prompts for the current Kerberos password, then prompts
14 the user twice for the new password, and the password is changed.
15
16 If the principal is governed by a policy that specifies the length
17 and/or number of character classes required in the new password, the
18 new password must conform to the policy. (The five character classes
19 are lower case, upper case, numbers, punctuation, and all other charac‐
20 ters.)
21
23 principal
24 Change the password for the Kerberos principal principal. Oth‐
25 erwise, kpasswd uses the principal name from an existing ccache
26 if there is one; if not, the principal is derived from the iden‐
27 tity of the user invoking the kpasswd command.
