SYNOPSIS
int
putpwpasswd(
char *username,
char *cleartext,
char *encrypted
)
DESCRIPTION
putpwpasswd
changes the encrypted password in the NetInfo database for the user
username.

which is normally required.
If this value, when encrypted, does not match the stored encrypted value
for
username,
then the password cannot be changed. The old password is not required
if the current encrypted password for
username
is the null string ("") nor if the
calling process has superuser status
and is attempting to change a value in a local database.
