NAME
       initpw - Initialize the auth2 password database

SYNOPSIS
       initpw [ -k key ]

DESCRIPTION
       initpw initializes the auth2 password database by reading entries as
       specified in passwd.coda(5) and writes the corresponding encrypted
       entries to stdout.

       initpw supports the following command line options:

       -k     Using the -k option allows you to specify the encryption key to
              use when encrypting cleartext passwords.  Currently you must
              give "drseuss " as the key.

EXAMPLE
       initpw -k "drseuss " < /vice/db/passwd.coda > /vice/db/auth2.pw

SEE ALSO
       auth2(8), passwd.coda(5)
