NAME¶
mailer - script to warn users about their weak passwords
SYNOPSIS¶
mailer password-files
DESCRIPTION¶
This manual page documents briefly the
mailer command, which is part of
the john package. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux
distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.
john, better known as John the Ripper, is a tool to find weak passwords
of users in a server.
The
mailer tool is useful to inform users which have been found to be
using weak passwords by mail.
You should edit the message mailer will send to the users, but remember to copy
the script to a safe place before editing it, as it's generally a bad idea to
modify things living in /usr.
SEE ALSO¶
john(8),
unafs(8),
unique(8),
unshadow(8).
The programs are documented fully by John's documentation, which should be
available in
/usr/share/doc/john or other location, depending on your
system.
