rpasswd(1)rpasswd(1)NAMErpasswd - change user password on remote server
SYNOPSISrpasswd [-4|-6] [-a] [-f config-file] [-h hostname] [-v] [-p port]
[--reqcert level] [--no-slp] [name]
DESCRIPTIONrpasswd changes passwords for user accounts on a remote server over a
secure SSL connection. A normal user may only change the password for
their own account, if the user knows the password of the administrator
account (in the moment this is the root password on the server), he may
change the password for any account if he calls rpasswd with the -a
option.
OPTIONS-a, --admin
With this option, rpasswd connects as administrator user to the
remote server. The user has to supply the administrator password
and can change then every password.
-f, --config-file config-file
Specify another configuration file than /etc/rpasswd.conf.
-h, --hostname hostname
Specify the name of the server, where rpasswdd(8) is running.
-p, --port portnumber
Specify the portnumber on which the server process rpasswdd(8)
is listening.
-r, --reqcert never|allow|try|hard
Specifies what checks to perform on server certificates in a SSL
session. The default for this option is hard.
