NAME
lppasswd - add, change, or delete digest passwords.
SYNOPSIS
lppasswd [ username ]
lppasswd -a [ -g groupname ] username
lppasswd -x username
DESCRIPTION
lppasswd adds, changes, or deletes passwords in the CUPS
digest password file, passwd.md5. When run by a normal user,
lppasswd will prompt for the old and new passwords. When
run by the super-user, lppasswd can add new accounts (-a
username), change existing accounts (username), or delete
accounts (-x username) in the digest password file. Digest
usernames do not have to match local UNIX usernames.
OPTIONS
lppasswd supports the following options:
-g groupname
Specifies a group other than the default system group.
SECURITY ISSUES
By default, the lppasswd program is not installed to allow
ordinary users to change their passwords. To enable this,
the lppasswd command must be made setuid to root with the
command:
chmod u+s lppasswd
While every attempt has been made to make lppasswd secure
against exploits that could grant super-user privileges to
unprivileged users, paranoid system administrators may wish
to use Basic authentication with accounts managed by PAM
instead.
