Package: dovecot-common Version: 1:1.0.15-2 Severity: minor Tags: patch Hi,
Currently, there is no manpage for the small utility "dovecotpw". Here is one :-) Cheers, Xavier -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=fr_BE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_BE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages dovecot-common depends on: ii adduser 3.110 add and remove users and groups ii libc6 2.7-15 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcomerr2 1.41.3-1 common error description library ii libkrb53 1.6.dfsg.4~beta1-4 MIT Kerberos runtime libraries ii libldap-2.4-2 2.4.11-1 OpenLDAP libraries ii libmysqlclient15off 5.0.51a-15 MySQL database client library ii libpam-runtime 1.0.1-4 Runtime support for the PAM librar ii libpam0g 1.0.1-4 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libpq5 8.3.4-2 PostgreSQL C client library ii libsqlite3-0 3.5.9-6 SQLite 3 shared library ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8g-13 SSL shared libraries ii openssl 0.9.8g-13 Secure Socket Layer (SSL) binary a ii ucf 3.0010 Update Configuration File: preserv ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-12 compression library - runtime dovecot-common recommends no packages. dovecot-common suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
.\" Hey, EMACS: -*- nroff -*- .TH "DOVECOTPW" "1" "6 November 2008" .\" Please adjust this date whenever revising the manpage. .\" .SH NAME dovecotpw \- a tool to easily generate passwords for a specified password scheme. .SH SYNOPSIS \fBdovecotpw\fP [-l] [-p <password>] [-s <scheme>] [-u <user>] [-V] .br .SH DESCRIPTION \fBdovecotpw\fP is a small tool to easily generate passwords for a specified password scheme known by \fIdovecot\fR\|(1). A password scheme means the format in which any password is stored in password databases. The main idea behind storing passwords in non-plaintext scheme is that if an attacker gets access to your server, he can't easily just get all users' passwords and start using them. With stronger schemes it takes more time to crack the passwords. Currently, the password schemes supported by \fBdovecotpw\fP are: CRYPT MD5 MD5-CRYPT SHA SHA1 SMD5 SSHA PLAIN CLEARTEXT CRAM-MD5 HMAC-MD5 DIGEST-MD5 PLAIN-MD4 PLAIN-MD5 LDAP-MD5 LANMAN NTLM RPA. \fBdovecotpw\fP can be used to populate \fIdovecot\fR\|(1) password databases. .SH OPTIONS .TP \fB-l\fP List known password schemes. .TP \fB-p <password>\fP Use <password> as the password to be encoded with the specified scheme. If this option is not used, you are prompted for one interactively. .TP \fB-s <scheme>\fP Specify the password scheme to be used to encrypt the password. <scheme> must be one of the supported password scheme as listed here above. If you omit this option, the default scheme is used (HMAC-MD5). .TP \fB-u <user>\fP Specify the username. This can be needed by some schemes. .TP \fB-V\fP Internally verify the generated hash. .SH AUTHOR .TP dovecotpw was written by Timo Sirainen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. .PP This manual page was written by Xavier Lüthi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, for the Debian project (but may be used by others).
