## SYNOPSIS

           lppasswd [ -a ] [ -g groupname ] [ -x ] [ username ]

## DESCRIPTION

           lppasswd  adds,  changes, or deletes passwords in the CUPS
           digest password file, passwd.md5. When  run  by  a  normal
           user,  lppasswd will prompt for the old and new passwords.
           When run by the super-user, lppasswd can add new  accounts
           (-a  username),  change  existing  accounts (username), or
           delete accounts (-x username) in the digest password file.
           Digest  usernames  do  not  have to match local UNIX user
           names, but only UNIX usernames are supported by  the  CUPS
           client programs (lp(1), lpr(1), etc.)

           The  -g  option  specifies  a  group other than the system
           group - "sys", "system", or "root", depending on the oper
           ating system.

## SECURITY ISSUES

           The  lppasswd  command  is installed setuid to root. While
           every attempt has been made  to  make  it  secure  against
           exploits   that  could  grant  super-user  priviledges  to
           unpriviledged users, paranoid  system  administrators  may
           wish  to disable or change the ownership of the program to
           an unpriviledged account.
