NAME

kcheckpass
- The KCheckPass authentication software
 

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

It enhances security be the following means:

-

It's only a small program, which is hopefully simple enough to allow it to be SUID root. Setting it to SUID root is necessary on Shadow Password systems.

-

No other program in need of user authentication, must be SUID root.

-

It provides a single implementation to check passwords. So one only must take a closer look at KCheckPass to ensure password security. It's much easier for programs using KCheckPass to preserve security.

Technique:

KCheckPass is a simple password checker. Just invoke and send it the password on stdin.

If the password was accepted, the program exits with 0;
if it was rejected, it exits with 1. Any other exit code signals an error.
