NAME
       v5passwd - change a user's Kerberos password

SYNOPSIS
       v5passwd [ -u username[/instance][@realm] ]

DESCRIPTION
       The v5passwd command is used to change a Kerberos principal's password
       using the older administrative protocol.

       If the -u option is specified, a partially or fully qualified Kerberos
       principal  may  be supplied.  Otherwise, the principal name is derived
       from the identity of the user invoking the v5passwd command.


       The v5passwd command prompts for the current Kerberos password,	which
       is  verified  by the Kerberos server.  If the old password is correct,
       the user is prompted twice for the new password.	 Success  or  failure
       is indicated by messages printed out by v5passwd.



FILES
       /tmp/tkt_kpw_[uid]  the temporary credentials cache ([uid] is the dec-
			   imal UID of the user)  for  the  lifetime  of  the
			   password changing operation.
