NAME

     lppasswd - add, change, or delete digest passwords.

SYNOPSIS

     lppasswd [ username ]
     lppasswd -a [ -g groupname ] username
     lppasswd -x username

DESCRIPTION

     lppasswd adds, changes, or deletes  passwords  in  the  CUPS
     digest password file, passwd.md5. When run by a normal user,
     lppasswd will prompt for the old and  new  passwords.   When
     run  by  the  super-user,  lppasswd can add new accounts (-a
     username), change existing accounts  (username),  or  delete
     accounts  (-x  username) in the digest password file. Digest
     usernames do not have to match local UNIX usernames.

OPTIONS

     lppasswd supports the following options:

     -g groupname
          Specifies a group other than the default system group.

SECURITY ISSUES

     The lppasswd 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.
