+.TH KPASSWD 1 \*h
+.SH NAME
+kpasswd \- change a user's Kerberos password
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B kpasswd
+[\fIprincipal\fP]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+The
+.I kpasswd
+command is used to change a Kerberos principal's password.
+.I Kpasswd
+prompts for the current Kerberos password, which is used to obtain a
+.B changepw
+ticket from the
+.SM KDC
+for the user's Kerberos realm. If
+.B kpasswd
+successfully obtains the
+.B changepw
+ticket, the user is prompted twice for the new password, and the
+password is changed.
+.PP
+If the principal is governed by a policy that specifies the length and/or
+number of character classes required in the new password, the new
+password must conform to the policy. (The five character classes are
+lower case, upper case, numbers, punctuation, and all other characters.)
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.I principal
+change the password for the Kerberos principal
+.IR principal .
+Otherwise, the principal is derived from the identity of the user
+invoking the
+.I kpasswd
+command.
+.SH FILES
+.TP "\w'/tmp/tkt_kadm_[pid]'u"
+/tmp/tkt_kadm_[pid]
+temporary credentials cache for the lifetime of the password changing
+operation. ([pid] is the process-ID of the kpasswd process.)
+.SH SEE ALSO
+kadmin(8), kadmind(8)
+.SH BUGS
+If
+.B kpasswd
+is suspended, the changepw tickets may not be destroyed.
