<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
<I>unix_chkpwd</I>
|
|
<DD>is a helper program for the
|
|
<I>pam_unix</I>
|
|
module that verifies the password of the current user. It also checks password and account expiration dates in
|
|
<I>shadow</I>. It is not intended to be run directly from the command line and logs a security violation if done so.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
It is typically installed setuid root or setgid shadow.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
The interface of the helper - command line options, and input/output data format are internal to the
|
|
<I>pam_unix</I>
|
|
module and it should not be called directly from applications.
