MKPWDICT 8 "August 13, 2023"
NAME
mkpwdict - maintain password-strength checking database
SYNOPSIS
/usr/bin/mkpwdict [-s dict1,... ,dictN]
 [-d destination-path]
DESCRIPTION
The mkpwdict command adds words to the dictionary-lookup database used by pam_authtok_check(7) and passwd(1).

Files containing words to be added to the database can be specified on the command-line using the -s flag. These source files should have a single word per line, much like /usr/share/lib/dict/words.

If -s is omitted, mkpwdict will use the value of DICTIONLIST specified in /etc/default/passwd (see passwd(1)).

The database is created in the directory specified by the -d option. If this option is omitted, mkpwdict uses the value of DICTIONDBDIR specified in /etc/default/passwd (see passwd(1)). The default location is /var/passwd.

OPTIONS
The following options are supported: -s

Specifies a comma-separated list of files containing words to be added to the dictionary-lookup database.

-d

Specifies the target location of the dictionary-database.

FILES
/etc/default/passwd

See passwd(1).

/var/passwd

default destination directory
