- Instructions for passwd
-
- Passwd changes your password in the /etc/passwd file. It has the same
- UnixLib requirements as documented in the login documentation.
-
- To change your password, simply login and type passwd. The program will then
- prompt you for your current password (to prevent other people from changing
- it) and for your new password twice (to ensure that you don't mis-type the
- new password). It will then alter your entry in the /etc/passwd file.
