NAME
       kpasswd - change a user's Kerberos password

SYNOPSIS
       [principal]

DESCRIPTION
       The command is used to change a Kerberos principal's password.  prompts
       for the current Kerberos password, which is used	 to  obtain  a	ticket
       from  the  KDC (Key Distribution Center) for the user's Kerberos realm.
       If successfully obtains the ticket, the user is prompted twice for  the
       new password and the password is changed.

       If  the	principal  is  governed	 by a policy that specifies the length
       and/or number of character classes required in the  new	password,  the
       new password must conform to the policy. The five character classes are
       lower case, upper case, numbers, punctuation, and all other characters.

   Options
       principal      Changes the password for the Kerberos principal, princi‐
		      pal.   uses the principal name from an existing cache if
		      there is one. If not, the principal is derived from  the
		      identity of the user invoking the command.

   Note
       looks  first  for in the [realms] section of the file under the current
       realm. If that is missing, looks for the admin_server entry and substi‐
       tutes 464 for the port.
