NAME

       lsh-krb-checkpw - program to check a Kerberos username/password combination

SYNOPSIS

       lsh-krb-checkpw username-to-check

DESCRIPTION

       This  manual  page  documents  briefly the lsh-krb-checkpw command.  This manual page was written for the
       Debian distribution because the  original  program  does  not  have  a  manual  page.   Instead,  it  has
       documentation in the GNU Info format; see below.

       lsh-krb-checkpw  is  a  program  that checks if a username and password combination is valid for login by
       doing a kerberos lookup. It is designed to be used as a  password  helper  program  for  lshd  (8),  (eg.
       --password-helper=/usr/sbin/lsh-krb-checkpw.

       lsh-krb-checkpw  takes  one  required argument, which is the username, and reads the password from stdin,
       then returns 0 if the password is valid, or 1 otherwise. Note that the password must be supplied exactly,
       ie. there must be no newline after the  password,  so  if  invoking  from  a  shell,  just  type  "<your-
       password><CTRL-D>".

SEE ALSO

       lsh(1), lshd(8).  The programs are documented fully by Lsh, available via the Info system.
