When run by the super-user, <i>lppasswd</i> can add new accounts
(<i>-a username</i>), change existing accounts (<i>username</i>),
or delete accounts (<i>-x username</i>) in the digest password
file. Digest usernames do not have to match local UNIX usernames.

<h2><a name='SECURITY_ISSUES'>Security Issues</a></h2>
The <i>lppasswd</i> command is installed setuid to root. While
every attempt has been made to make it secure against exploits
that could grant super-user privileges to unprivileged users,
paranoid system administrators may wish to disable or change the
ownership of the program to an unprivileged account.
