38 allows the maintenance of afppasswd files created by netatalk for use by the uams_randnum\&.so UAM (providing the "Randnum exchange" and "2\-Way Randnum exchange" User Authentication Modules)\&.
41 can either be called by root with parameters, or can be called by local system users with no parameters to change their AFP passwords\&.

55 With this utility you can only change the passwords used by two specific UAMs\&. As they provide only weak password encryption, the use of the "Randnum exchange" and "2\-Way Randnum exchange" UAMs is deprecated unless one has to support very old AFP clients, that can not deal with the more secure "DHCAST128" and "DHX2" UAM instead\&. Please compare with the
56 Authentication chapter
57 inside Netatalk\*(Aqs documentation\&.
62 Local user changing their own password:

69 Enter NEW AFP password: \fB(hidden)\fR
70 Enter NEW AFP password again: \fB(hidden)\fR
71 afppasswd: updated password\&.
87 Create and/or initialize
89 file or specific user\&.
94 Force the current action\&.
106 If cracklib support is built into
108 this option will cause cracklib checking to be disabled, if the superuser does not want to have the password run against the cracklib dictionary\&.
