  25 .SH NAME
  26 lppasswd \- add, change, or delete digest passwords.
  27 .SH SYNOPSIS
  28 .B lppasswd
  29 [ -a ] [ -g
  30 .I groupname
  31 ] [ -x ] [
  32 .I username
  33 ]
  34 .SH DESCRIPTION
  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.)
  43 .LP
  44 The \fI-g\fR option specifies a group other than the system group - "sys",
  45 "system", or "root", depending on the operating system.
  46 .SH SECURITY ISSUES
  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
  51 account.
