mkpwdict(1M) System Administration Commands mkpwdict(1M)NAMEmkpwdict - maintain password-strength checking database
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/mkpwdict [-s dict1,... ,dictN]
[-d destination-path]
DESCRIPTION
The mkpwdict command adds words to the dictionary-lookup database used
by pam_authtok_check(5) and passwd(1).
Files containing words to be added to the database can be specified on
the command-line using the -s flag. These source files should have a
single word per line, much like /usr/share/lib/dict/words.
If -s is omitted, mkpwdict will use the value of DICTIONLIST specified
in /etc/default/passwd (see passwd(1)).
The database is created in the directory specified by the -d option. If
this option is omitted, mkpwdict uses the value of DICTIONDBDIR speci‐
fied in /etc/default/passwd (see passwd(1)). The default location is
/var/passwd.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-s Specifies a comma-separated list of files containing words to be
added to the dictionary-lookup database.
-d Specifies the target location of the dictionary-database.
FILES
/etc/default/passwd See passwd(1).
/var/passwd default destination directory
