NAME¶
tac_pwd - generate DES or MD5 encryption of a password
SYNOPSIS¶
tac_pwd [
-ehm] [salt]
DESCRIPTION¶
tac_pwd prompts for a clear-text password and produces a DES encryption
of that password on stdout which may be used in lieu of the clear-text
representation in the
tac_plus.conf(5).
The DES salt may be provided as a command-line argument.
COMMAND-LINE OPTIONS¶
- -e
- Do not echo the plain-text password to the terminal.
- -h
- Display help message.
- -m
- Generate an MD5 encryption, instead of DES. This only works if crypt() on
your host supports MD5.
