MKPASSWD(8)         UNIX Programmer's Manual          MKPASSWD(8)



NAME
     mkpasswd - generate hashed password table

SYNOPSIS
     /etc/mkpasswd [ -v ] passwdfile

DESCRIPTION
     _M_k_p_a_s_s_w_d is used to generated the hashed password database
     used by the library routines getpwnam() and getpwuid().  If
     the -v option is supplied, each entry will be listed as it
     is added.  The file _p_a_s_s_w_d_f_i_l_e is usually /etc/ptmp (invoked
     by vipw(8)), and in any case must be in the format of
     /etc/passwd (see passwd(5)).  _M_k_p_a_s_s_w_d will generate data-
     base files named _p_a_s_s_w_d_f_i_l_e._p_a_g and _p_a_s_s_w_d_f_i_l_e._d_i_r. _M_k_p_a_s_s_w_d
     will exit with a non-zero exit code if any errors are
     detected.

FILES
     _p_a_s_s_w_d_f_i_l_e.pag    - database filenames
     _p_a_s_s_w_d_f_i_l_e.dir
