passwd
SYNTAX
passwd login name
FUNCTION
passwd changes (or creates a new) password
associated with the login name.
If the user with the login name already has
a password, passwd will prompt him/her once for
the old password, and twice for the new password.
If the superuser changes someone else's password,
then he is only prompted for the new password (twice).
NOTE:
Only the owner of the login name, or a superuser
may change a password.
Only the 1st eight characters of the password are
significant.
passwd used without a login name will change,
by default, the password for the current user!
If the user yori wanted to change his
password, the required command would be:
