- _M_k_p_a_s_s_w_d is used to generated the hashed password database
- used by the password library routines (see _g_e_t_p_w_e_n_t(3)).
-
- The file _p_a_s_s_w_d_f_i_l_e must be in password file format (see
- _p_a_s_s_w_d(5)). _M_k_p_a_s_s_w_d generates database files named
- ``passwdfile.pag'' and ``passwdfile.dir'' (see _n_d_b_m(3)).
- Data subsequently taken from the database files differ from
- _p_a_s_s_w_d_f_i_l_e in one respect. Rather than storing the
- encrypted password in the database, _m_k_p_a_s_s_w_d stores the
- offset of the encrypted password in _p_a_s_s_w_d_f_i_l_e.
-
- _M_k_p_a_s_s_w_d exits zero on success, non-zero on failure.
-
- The -_p option causes _m_k_p_a_s_s_w_d to create ``passwdfile.orig'',
- a password file in the standard Version 7 format.
