RADCRYPT(8)            DragonFly System Manager's Manual           RADCRYPT(8)

NAME
       radcrypt - generate password hash for use with radius, or validates a
       password hash

SYNOPSIS
       radcrypt [-d|--des] [-m|--md5] [-c|--check] plaintext_password
       [hashed_password]

DESCRIPTION
       radcrypt generates a hashed digest of a plaintext password, or can
       validate if a password hash matches a plaintext password. DES and MD5
       hashes are currently supported. When generating a password hash a
       random salt is generated and applied.

       A hashed password can be validated by specifying -c or --check and
       passing hashed_password after plaintext_password on the command line.
       In this case hashed_password will be checked to see if it matches
       plaintext_password. If so "Password OK" will be printed and the exit
       status will be 1, otherwise "Password BAD" will be printed and exit
       status will be 0 (Note this is the opposite of a normal successful
       shell status).

OPTIONS
       -d --des
              Use a DES (Data Encryption Standard) hash (default).  Ignored if
              performing a password check.

       -m --md5
              Use a MD5 (Message Digest 5) hash.  Ignored if performing a
              password check.

       -c --check
              Perform a validation check on a password hash to verify if it
              matches the plantext password.

EXAMPLES
       $ radcrypt foobar
       HaX0xn7Qy650Q
       $ radcrypt -c foobar HaX0xn7Qy650Q
       Password OK
