SYNOPSIS

9       /usr/sbin/mkpwdict [-s dict1,... ,dictN]
10            [-d destination-path]

DESCRIPTION

14       The  mkpwdict command adds words to the dictionary-lookup database used
15       by pam_authtok_check(5) and passwd(1).
16
17
18       Files containing words to be added to the database can be specified  on
19       the  command-line  using  the -s flag. These source files should have a
20       single word per line, much like /usr/share/lib/dict/words.
21
22
23       If -s is omitted, mkpwdict will use the value of DICTIONLIST  specified
24       in /etc/default/passwd (see passwd(1)).
25
26
27       The database is created in the directory specified by the -d option. If
28       this option is omitted, mkpwdict uses the value of DICTIONDBDIR  speci‐
29       fied  in  /etc/default/passwd  (see passwd(1)). The default location is
30       /var/passwd.
31
