| 19 | lsh-krb-checkpw \- program to check a Kerberos username/password combination |
||
| 20 | .SH SYNOPSIS |
||
| 21 | .B lsh-krb-checkpw |
||
| 22 | .RI username-to-check |
||
| 23 | .SH DESCRIPTION |
||
| 24 | This manual page documents briefly the |
||
| 25 | .B lsh-krb-checkpw |
||
| 26 | command. |
||
| 27 | This manual page was written for the Debian distribution |
||
| 28 | because the original program does not have a manual page. |
||
| 29 | Instead, it has documentation in the GNU Info format; see below. |
||
| 30 | .PP |
||
| 31 | .\" TeX users may be more comfortable with the \fB<whatever>\fP and |
||
| 32 | .\" \fI<whatever>\fP escape sequences to invode bold face and italics, |
||
| 33 | .\" respectively. |
||
| 34 | \fBlsh-krb-checkpw\fP is a program that checks if a username and password |
||
| 35 | combination is valid for login by doing a kerberos lookup. It is designed to be |
||
| 36 | used as a password helper program for \fBlshd (8)\fP, (eg. |
||
| 37 | \fB\-\-password\-helper=/usr/sbin/lsh-krb-checkpw\fP. |
||
| 38 | .PP |
||
| 39 | .B lsh-krb-checkpw |
||
| 40 | takes one required argument, which is the username, and reads the password from |
||
| 41 | stdin, then returns 0 if the password is valid, or 1 otherwise. Note that the |
||
| 42 | password must be supplied exactly, ie. there must be no newline after the |
||
| 43 | password, so if invoking from a shell, just type "<your-password><CTRL-D>". |
