man mailer (Administration système) - script to warn users about their weak passwords
NAME
mailer - script to warn users about their weak passwords
SYNOPSIS
mailer password-files
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the
mailer
command, which is part of the john package.
This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution
because the original program does not have a manual page.
john, better known as John the Ripper, is a tool to find weak
passwords of users in a server.
The mailer tool is useful to inform users which have been found to
be using weak passwords by mail.
You should edit the message mailer will send to the users, but remember to copy the script to a safe place before editing it, as it's generally a bad idea to modify things living in /usr.
SEE ALSO
john(8), unafs(8), unique(8), unshadow(8).
The programs are documented fully by John's documentation, which should be available in /usr/share/doc/john or other location, depending on your system.
