When run by a normal user, \fIlppasswd\fR will prompt for the old and new passwords. When run by the super-user, \fIlppasswd\fR can add new accounts (\fI-a username\fR), change existing accounts (\fIusername\fR), or delete accounts (\fI-x username\fR) in the digest password file. Digest usernames do not have to match local UNIX usernames, but only UNIX usernames are supported by the CUPS client programs (\fIlp(1)\fR, \fIlpr(1)\fR, etc.) .LP The \fI-g\fR option specifies a group other than the system group - "sys", "system", or "root", depending on the operating system. .SH SECURITY ISSUES The \fIlppasswd\fR command is installed setuid to root. While every attempt has been made to make it secure against exploits that could grant super-user priviledges to unpriviledged users, paranoid system administrators may wish to disable or change the ownership of the program to an unpriviledged account. .SH SEE ALSO lp(1), lpr(1), CUPS Software Administrators Manual, CUPS Software Users Manual, http://localhost:631/documentation.html .SH COPYRIGHT Copyright 1993-2005 by Easy Software Products, All Rights Reserved. .\" .\" End of "$Id: lppasswd.man,v 1.1.1.10 2005/01/04 19:16:07 jlovell Exp $". .\"
