When run by a normal user, <i>lppasswd</i> will prompt for the old and new passwords. When run by the super-user, <i>lppasswd</i> can add new accounts (<i>-a username</i>), change existing accounts (<i>username</i>), or delete accounts (<i>-x username</i>) in the digest password file. Digest usernames do not have to match local UNIX usernames. <h2><a name='OPTIONS'>Options</a></h2> <i>lppasswd</i> supports the following options: <dl> <dt>-g groupname </dt> <dd>Specifies a group other than the default system group. </dd> </dl> <h2><a name='SECURITY_ISSUES'>Security Issues</a></h2> The <i>lppasswd</i> command is installed setuid to root. While every attempt has been made to make it secure against exploits that could grant super-user privileges to unprivileged users, paranoid system administrators may wish to disable or change the ownership of the program to an unprivileged account. <h2><a name='SEE_ALSO'>See Also</a></h2> <a href='man-lp.html?TOPIC=Man+Pages'>lp(1)</a>, <a href='man-lpr.html?TOPIC=Man+Pages'>lpr(1)</a>, <br> <a href='http://localhost:631/help'>http://localhost:631/help</a> <h2><a name='COPYRIGHT'>Copyright</a></h2> Copyright 2007 by Apple Inc. </body> </html>
