SYNOPSIS

       bnpass [options] [--] [cleartextpassword]

DESCRIPTION

       bnpass is a small utility which will output the ASCII hashed version of
       the clear text password in the same format as  used  in  bnetd  account
       files.  This may be useful for writing a script to generate accounts or
       to reset a password in the bnetd user database.

       If cleartextpassword is not specified you will be prompted to enter  it
       into the standard input.

              Print usage information and exit.

       -v --version
              Print its version number and exit.

       --     Signal end of options.  Any further arguments will be treated as
              passwords even if they begin with a "-".
