| | 25 | is a helper utility that generates encrypted passwords for the Courier authentication library\. The Courier authentication library is capable of using several different encryption methods for storing passwords\. |
| | 26 | \fBauthpasswd\fR |
| | 27 | issues a password prompt\. Enter the same password twice (for verification purposes)\. |
| | 28 | \fBauthpasswd\fR |
| | 29 | computes and prints the encrypted password\. The encrypted password can be inserted verbatim into the appropriate account record that\'s processed by the authentication library\'s |
| | 30 | authmysql, |
| | 31 | authpgsql, or |
| | 32 | authldap |
| | 33 | module\. |
