-.TH KCHECKPASS 1 "June 2006" "Trinity Desktop Environment" "authentication software"
-.SH NAME
-kcheckpass
-\- The KCheckPass authentication software
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-\fBkcheckpass\fP
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-\fBKCheckPass\fP is TDE's authentication program. It is meant to be
-used by any software in need of user authentication, most
-notably screensavers.
-.sp 1
-It enhances security be the following means:
-.br
-.IP " \-"
-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.
-.IP " \-"
-No other program in need of user authentication, must be
-SUID root.
-.IP " \-"
-It provides a single implementation to check passwords. So one only must take a closer look at \fBKCheckPass\fP to ensure password security. It's much easier for programs using \fBKCheckPass\fP to preserve security.
-.PP
-.br
-\fBTechnique:\fP
-.sp 1
-\fBKCheckPass\fP is a simple password checker. Just invoke and send it the password on stdin.
-.sp 1
-If the password was accepted, the program exits with 0;
-.br
-if it was rejected, it exits with 1. Any other exit code signals an error.
