kpasswdd — Kerberos password changing daemon

kpasswdd

Kpasswdd is the server for the passwd(1) program. The server provides a remote password changing facility with Kerberos authentication. A user must provide the old Kerberos password, encrypted in a random session key, to the server. Kpasswdd runs only on the Kerberos server, as it directly updates the Kerberos database.

kerberos(1), passwd(1)

The kpasswdd utility first appeared in 4.4BSD.
