USERPASSWD(1)

💖 USERPASSWD 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the General Commands Manual section, page one, and it's literally all about userpasswd — the lil graphical bestie that lets you change your password without touching a scary terminal. no cap. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

userpasswd — a graphical tool to allow users to change their passwords. that's it, that's the whole job, and she does it flawlessly. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

userpasswd [ options ]

yes queen, that's the whole vibe. one command, optional stuff in brackets, go off. ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like. userpasswd is a graphical tool that lets users change their passwords easily. easy easy. no stress, no cryptic prompts, just clicky-click and done. 🫶

and the way that it's not just a cute GUI frontend (although it IS a nice GUI frontend, periodt) — this program does the right thing when the pam configuration has changed. like, it actually keeps up. main character behavior honestly. 👑

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

okay so here's the tea: this program has no command line options of its own. none. zero. she's lowkey minimalist like that. 🙈

BUT — and this is the important part bestie — it does take the standard X program options like -display and such. so all your regular X-flavored flags still work, they're just not hers, they're X's. 💜

if you wanna know what those are, go read the X(1) man page, it's got the common options laid out. iykyk. ⭐

go read it, it's her cousin or whatever. 🧚

💀 BUGS 💀

so, the good news: no known bugs. slay.

the slightly-less-good news, and i need you to hear me on this: compatibility with bizarre changes in the pam configuration has not been tested aggressively. not aggressively. so like, if your pam setup is doing something weird and wild, nobody has stress-tested that fr fr. 😭

and this is the cute part — if you do have a non-standard pam configuration, the author literally wants to hear whether it worked and what kind of configuration you have. he's interested! tell him! 🍓
