file. Digest usernames do not have to match local UNIX usernames.

.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 privileges to unprivileged users,
paranoid system administrators may wish to disable or change the
ownership of the program to an unprivileged account.
