System Administration Commands                       mkpwdict(1M)



NAME
     mkpwdict - maintain password-strength checking database

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/sbin/mkpwdict [-s dict1,... ,dictN]
          [-d destination-path]


DESCRIPTION
     The mkpwdict command adds  words  to  the  dictionary-lookup
     database used by pam_authtok_check(5) and passwd(1).


     Files containing words to be added to the  database  can  be
     specified  on  the  command-line  using  the  -s flag. These
     source files should have a single word per line,  much  like
     /usr/share/lib/dict/words.


     If -s is omitted, mkpwdict will use the value of DICTIONLIST
     specified in /etc/default/passwd (see passwd(1)).


     The database is created in the directory specified by the -d
     option.  If  this option is omitted, mkpwdict uses the value
     of  DICTIONDBDIR  specified  in   /etc/default/passwd   (see
     passwd(1)). The default location is /var/passwd.

OPTIONS
     The following options are supported:

     -s    Specifies a comma-separated list of  files  containing
           words to be added to the dictionary-lookup database.


     -d    Specifies  the  target  location  of  the  dictionary-
           database.


FILES
     /etc/default/passwd    See passwd(1).


     /var/passwd            default destination directory
