NAME
       bnpass - bnetd password utility

SYNOPSIS
       bnpass [options] [--] [cleartextpassword]

DESCRIPTION
       bnpass is a small utility which will output the ASCII hashed version of
       the clear text password in the same format as used in bnetd account
       files.  This may be useful for writing a script to generate accounts or
       to reset a password in the bnetd user database.

       If cleartextpassword is not specified you will be prompted to enter it
       into the standard input.

OPTIONS
       -h --help --usage
              Print usage information and exit.

       -v --version
              Print its version number and exit.

       --     Signal end of options.  Any further arguments will be treated as
              passwords even if they begin with a "-".

NOTES
       The current version is available with the bnetd distribution at:

              http://www.bnetd.org/
