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.
