10

DESCRIPTION

12       tac_pwd prompts for a clear-text password and produces a DES encryption
13       of that password on stdout which may be used in lieu of the  clear-text
14       representation in the tac_plus.conf(5).
15
16       The DES salt may be provided as a command-line argument.
17

COMMAND-LINE OPTIONS

19       -e     Do not echo the plain-text password to the terminal.
20
21       -h     Display help message.
22
23       -m     Generate  an MD5 encryption, instead of DES.  This only works if
24              crypt() on your host supports MD5.
