.SH NAME

.SH SYNOPSIS

.B lsh-krb-checkpw

.RI username-to-check

.SH DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the

.B lsh-krb-checkpw

command.

This manual page was written for the Debian distribution

because the original program does not have a manual page.

Instead, it has documentation in the GNU Info format; see below.

.\" TeX users may be more comfortable with the \fB<whatever>\fP and

.\" \fI<whatever>\fP escape sequences to invode bold face and italics,

.\" respectively.

\fBlsh-krb-checkpw\fP is a program that checks if a username and password

combination is valid for login by doing a kerberos lookup. It is designed to be

used as a password helper program for \fBlshd (8)\fP, (eg.

\fB\-\-password\-helper=/usr/sbin/lsh-krb-checkpw\fP.

.PP

.B lsh-krb-checkpw

takes one required argument, which is the username, and reads the password from

stdin, then returns 0 if the password is valid, or 1 otherwise. Note that the

password must be supplied exactly, ie. there must be no newline after the

password, so if invoking from a shell, just type "<your-password><CTRL-D>".
