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.
