.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.

\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.

.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>".
