\fIunix_update\fR
is a helper program for the
\fIpam_unix\fR
module that updates the password of a given user\&. It is not intended to be run directly from the command line and logs a security violation if done so\&.
.PP
-The purpose of the helper is to enable tighter confinement of login and password changing services\&. The helper is thus called only when SELinux is enabled and in the enforcing mode on the system\&.
