NAME
authtest - Test the Courier Authentication Library
SYNOPSIS
authtest {loginid} [password] [newpassword]
DESCRIPTION
authtest is a command-line diagnostic utility for the Courier
Authentication Library. authtest requires at least one argument:
loginid. authtest sends the authentication request to the Courier
Authentication Library, then displays the results. Only root may use
authtest utility, and the Courier Authentication Library daemon
(authdaemond) must already be started.
If only one argument is provided, the authentication request displays
the account information for loginid, if found.
If two arguments are provided, password must match loginid´s existing
password.
If three arguments are provided, loginid´s password is changed to
newpassword, but only if password matches the existing psasword.
These three basic authentication requests can be used to troubleshoot
the authentication library´s configuration.
