LWPASSWD(1)

NAME
lwpasswd - change LinuxWare password

SYNOPSIS
lwpasswd [ name ]

DESCRIPTION
Lwpasswd will change the specified user's LinuxWare password. Only the superuser is allowed to change other user's passwords. If the user is not root, then the old password is prompted for and verified. A new password is prompted for twice, to avoid typing mistakes. Unless the user is the superuser, the new password must have more than six characters, and must have non-letters. Some passwords which are similar to the user's name are not allowed. An entry for the user must exist in the LinuxWare password database lwpasswd(5) before lwpasswd can be used and the user can access LinuxWare services.

OPTIONS
name
    Specifies the name of the user to be changed the password for.

EXAMPLES
lwpasswd ales
