|

.Pa pam_unix_chkpwd |
52 |
is a helper program for the |
53 |

module that verifies the password of the current user. It also checks password |
55 |
and account expiration dates in |
56 |
.Xr master.passwd 5 . |

.Xr pam_unix 8 |
64 |
module and it should not be called directly from applications. |
