(The five character classes +are lower case, upper case, numbers, punctuation, and all other +characters.) + + +OPTIONS +------- + +*principal* + Change the password for the Kerberos principal principal. + Otherwise, kpasswd uses the principal name from an existing ccache + if there is one; if not, the principal is derived from the + identity of the user invoking the kpasswd command. + + +SEE ALSO +-------- + +:ref:`kadmin(1)`, :ref:`kadmind(8)` |
