mkpwdict 1M "1 Jun 2004" "SunOS 5.11" "System Administration Commands"
NAME
mkpwdict - maintain password-strength checking database
SYNOPSIS

/usr/sbin/mkpwdict [-s dict1,... ,dictN] 
 [-d destination-path]
DESCRIPTION

The mkpwdict command adds words to the dictionary-lookup database used by pam_authtok_check(5) and passwd(1).

Files containing words to be added to the database can be specified on the command-line using the -s flag. These source files should have a single word per line, much like /usr/share/lib/dict/words.

If -s is omitted, mkpwdict will use the value of DICTIONLIST specified in /etc/default/passwd (see passwd(1)).

The database is created in the directory specified by the -d option. If this option is omitted, mkpwdict uses the value of DICTIONDBDIR specified in /etc/default/passwd (see passwd(1)). The default location is /var/passwd.

OPTIONS

The following options are supported:

-s

Specifies a comma-separated list of files containing words to be added to the dictionary-lookup database.

-d

Specifies the target location of the dictionary-database.

FILES
