DESCRIPTION

14       lppasswd  adds,  changes, or deletes passwords in the CUPS digest pass‐
15       word file, passwd.md5. When run by a normal user, lppasswd will  prompt
16       for  the  old  and new passwords.  When run by the super-user, lppasswd
17       can add new accounts (-a username),  change  existing  accounts  (user‐
18       name),  or  delete  accounts (-x username) in the digest password file.
19       Digest usernames do not have to match local UNIX usernames.

SECURITY ISSUES

28       The lppasswd command is installed setuid to root. While  every  attempt
29       has  been  made  to  make  it  secure against exploits that could grant
30       super-user privileges to unprivileged users, paranoid  system  adminis‐
31       trators  may  wish to disable or change the ownership of the program to
32       an unprivileged account.
