NAME
cpasswd - Change Coda login password
SYNOPSIS
cpasswd [ -h host ] [username][@realm]
DESCRIPTION
This command sets the Coda password for the current user.
cpasswd prompts for the users old password, and then for the new one.
The new password must be typed twice, to forestall mistakes. Change
requests can be aborted by typing a carriage return when prompted for
the new password.
cpasswd won't be able to change the users password if the password
server is down. An appropriate error message will be printed, advising
the caller to try again later. Once the password server acknowledges
receipt the users new password, it should not take too link for the
information to propagate to the entire set of Authentication Servers.
cpasswd supports the following option:
-h Tells cpasswd which host to bind to. This should be the SCM.
[username][@realm]
Coda user name and the realm of the user whose password you want
to change. If the username is not specified, clog tries to use
the local login name. If the Coda realm name is not specified
clog falls back to using the default realm name as specified in
the venus.conf configuration file.
