+.SH NAME
+kpasswd \- change a user's Kerberos password
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B kpasswd
+[
+.B \-h
+] [
+.B \-n
+.I name
+] [
+.B \-i
+.I instance
+] [
+.B \-r
+.I realm
+] [
+\-u
+.IR username[.instance][@realm] ]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.I kpasswd
+command is used to change a Kerberos principal's password.
+.PP
+If the
+.I \-h
+option is specified, a brief summary of the options is printed, and
+.I kpasswd
+then exits.
+.PP
+If the
+.I \-n
+option is specified,
+.I name
+is used as the principal name rather than the username of the user
+running
+.IR kpasswd .
+(This is determined from the ticket file if it exists;
+otherwise, it is determined from the unix user id.)
+.PP
+If the
+.I \-i
+option is specified,
+.I instance
+is used as the instance rather than a null instance.
+.PP
+If the
+.I \-r
+option is specified,
+.I realm
+is used as the realm rather than the local realm.
+.PP
+If the
+.I \-u
+option is specified, a fully qualified kerberos
+principal can be given.
+.PP
+
+The utility prompts for the current Kerberos password (printing
+the name of the principal for which it intends to change the password),
+which is verified by the Kerberos server. If the old password is
+correct, the user is prompted twice for the new password. A message is
+printed indicating the success or failure of the password changing
+operation.
+
+.SH BUGS
+
+.I kpasswd
+does not handle names, instances, or realms with special
+characters in them when the -n, -i, or -r options are used. Any
+valid fullname is accepted, however, if the -u option is used.
+
+If the principal whose password you are trying to change does
+not exist, you will not be told until after you have entered the
+old password.
