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. + +.SH SEE ALSO +kerberos(1), kinit(1), passwd(1), kadmin(8) |
