To change your extra or root kerberos password, use the following command: passwd username/instance For example, if you are joeuser and wish to change the password for your extra instance, you would type: passwd joeuser/extra This works in the same way the passwd command normally works, i.e.: you will be prompted for your old password, and then a new one, which you will have to enter twice, to safeguard against any typos. $Date$
