26 lppasswd \- add, change, or delete digest passwords.
35 \fIlppasswd\fR adds, changes, or deletes passwords in the CUPS digest
36 password file, \fIpasswd.md5\fR. When run by a normal user, \fIlppasswd\fR
37 will prompt for the old and new passwords. When run by the super-user,
38 \fIlppasswd\fR can add new accounts (\fI-a username\fR), change existing
39 accounts (\fIusername\fR), or delete accounts (\fI-x username\fR) in the
40 digest password file. Digest usernames do not have to match local UNIX
41 usernames, but only UNIX usernames are supported by the CUPS client programs
42 (\fIlp(1)\fR, \fIlpr(1)\fR, etc.)
44 The \fI-g\fR option specifies a group other than the system group - "sys",
45 "system", or "root", depending on the operating system.
47 The \fIlppasswd\fR command is installed setuid to root. While every attempt
48 has been made to make it secure against exploits that could grant super-user
49 priviledges to unpriviledged users, paranoid system administrators may wish
50 to disable or change the ownership of the program to an unpriviledged
