MKPASSWD(1) General Commands Manual MKPASSWD(1) NAME mkpasswd - generate new password, optionally apply it to a user SYNOPSIS mkpasswd args user INTRODUCTION mkpasswd generates passwords and can apply them automatically to users. Mkpasswd is based on the code from Chapter 23 of the O'Reilly book 'Exploring Expect'.
- To use the MKPASSWD command, you must open a Command Prompt window and navigate to C: Program Files OpenSSH BIN. Next, enter the MKPASSWD command followed by several switches.
- The mkpasswd generates indexes over certain security files. These indexes are used by the getpwnam, getpwuid, getuserattr, and putuserattr library subroutines. This approach significantly enhances performance for large user base systems.

@Anagastes: I think this question should have gone there, this is just a similarly named package: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/makepasswd/

Thank you for the explanation @julianbrost. I just looked at the PKGBUILD and Makefile and saw that it only installs 'mkpasswd'.
My apologies for wrongly filing it as outdated. I had the impression that something might be fishy with the package when I first looked at it.

@victorbrca The linked Github repo is indeed the correct one. For whatever reason, this mkpasswd program is maintained in the whois repo: https://github.com/rfc1036/whois/blob/v5.4.3/mkpasswd.c See also Debian, where the mkpasswd binary is even part of the whois package: https://packages.debian.org/buster/amd64/whois/filelist

I have this package installed on my system and the command 'mkpasswd' works, however, looking at the info page for the package the GitHub repo points to a repository that has nothing to do with the package (https://github.com/rfc1036/whois).
When I google for 'mkpasswd' I find a repo that has been disowned (https://github.com/dsohler/mkpassword) and that user is no longer on GitHub.
Mkpasswd Linux
This seems very fishy!

@chimo Thanks for the hint, I didn't notice that. Do you or anyone else have any suggestions for renaming the file? That sounds more preferable to me than just adding a conflict to the package.

I think this conflicts with the 'expect' package, which also provides a `mkpasswd` binary: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/expect/
