The caller must supply both. The new password<br /> must be typed twice, to forestall mistakes.<br /> <br /> New passwords must be at least four characters long if they<br /> use a sufficiently rich alphabet and at least six characters<br /> long if monocase. These rules are relaxed if you are<br /> insistent enough.<br /> <br /> Only the owner of the name or the super-user may change a<br /> password; the owner must prove he knows the old password.<br /> <br /> == FILES ==<br /> /etc/passwd<br /> <br /> == SEE ALSO ==<br /> [[32v 1m login|login(1)]], [[32v 5m passwd|passwd(5)]], [[32v 3m crypt|crypt(3)]]<br /> Robert Morris and Ken Thompson, _U_N_I_X _p_a_s_s_w_o_r_d _s_e_c_u_r_i_t_y<br /> <br /> [[Category:32v man section 1]]</div>
