.SH NAME
mkpwdict \- maintain password-strength checking database
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
\fB/usr/bin/mkpwdict\fR [\fB-s\fR \fIdict1\fR,... ,\fIdictN\fR]
     [\fB-d\fR \fIdestination-path\fR]
.fi

.SH DESCRIPTION
The \fBmkpwdict\fR command adds words to the dictionary-lookup database used by
\fBpam_authtok_check\fR(7) and \fBpasswd\fR(1).
.sp
.LP
Files containing words to be added to the database can be specified on the
command-line using the \fB-s\fR flag. These source files should have a single
word per line, much like \fB/usr/share/lib/dict/words\fR.
.sp
.LP
If \fB-s\fR is omitted, \fBmkpwdict\fR will use the value of \fBDICTIONLIST\fR
specified in \fB/etc/default/passwd\fR (see \fBpasswd\fR(1)).
.sp
.LP
The database is created in the directory specified by the \fB-d\fR option. If
this option is omitted, \fBmkpwdict\fR uses the value of \fBDICTIONDBDIR\fR
specified in \fB/etc/default/passwd\fR (see \fBpasswd\fR(1)). The default
location is \fB/var/passwd\fR.
