ef416fc2 33.SH DESCRIPTION
bd7854cb 34\fIlppasswd\fR adds, changes, or deletes passwords in the CUPS
35digest password file, \fIpasswd.md5\fR. When run by a normal
36user, \fIlppasswd\fR will prompt for the old and new passwords.
37When run by the super-user, \fIlppasswd\fR can add new accounts
38(\fI-a username\fR), change existing accounts (\fIusername\fR),
39or delete accounts (\fI-x username\fR) in the digest password
40file. Digest usernames do not have to match local UNIX usernames.
41.SH OPTIONS
42\fIlppasswd\fR supports the following options:
43.TP 5
44-g groupname
45.br
46Specifies a group other than the default system group.
ef416fc2 47.SH SECURITY ISSUES
568fa3fa
MS
48By default, the \fIlppasswd\fR program is not installed to allow ordinary
49users to change their passwords. To enable this, the \fIlppasswd\fR command
50must be made setuid to root with the command:
51.br
52.nf
53chmod u+s lppasswd
54.fi
55.PP
56While every attempt has been made to make \fIlppasswd\fR secure against
57exploits that could grant super-user privileges to unprivileged users,
58paranoid system administrators may wish to use Basic authentication with
59accounts managed by PAM instead.
