- <title>Description</title>
- <para>The <emphasis role="bold">kas create</emphasis> command creates an entry in the Authentication Database
- for the user named by the <emphasis role="bold">-name</emphasis> argument.</para>
-
- <para>To avoid having the account's initial password echo visibly at the shell
- prompt, omit the <emphasis role="bold">-initial_password</emphasis> argument; the command interpreter
- prompts for the password and does not echo it visibly. Whether or not
- <emphasis role="bold">-initial_password</emphasis> is omitted, the Authentication Server converts the
- password into a form suitable for use as an encryption key, and records it
- in the entry's key field.</para>
-
- <para>To alter settings in an Authentication Database entry, use the <emphasis role="bold">kas
- setfields</emphasis> command. To examine an entry, use the <emphasis role="bold">kas examine</emphasis>
- command. To list every entry in the database, use the <emphasis role="bold">kas list</emphasis> command.</para>

- <para>Names the new Authentication Database entry. Because it is the name under

- <listitem>
- <para>Sets the user's password; provide a character string that can include
- uppercase and lowercase letters, numerals and punctuation. The
- Authentication Server scrambles the string into an octal string suitable
- for use as an encryption key before placing it in the entry's key
- field. If this argument is omitted, the command interpreter prompts for
- the string and does not echo it visibly.</para>
