+.SH NAME
+kcheckpass
+\- The KCheckPass authentication software
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+\fBkcheckpass\fP
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+\fBKCheckPass\fP is KDE's authentication program. It is meant to be
+used by any software in need of user authentication, most
+notably screensavers.
+.sp 1
+It enhances security be the following means:
+.br
+.IP "     \-"
+It's only a small program, which is hopefully simple enough to
+allow it to be SUID root. Setting it to SUID root is necessary
+on Shadow Password systems.
+.IP "     \-"
+No other program in need of user authentication, must be
+SUID root.
+.IP "     \-"
+It provides a single implementation to check passwords. So one only must take a closer look at \fBKCheckPass\fP to ensure password security. It's much easier for programs using \fBKCheckPass\fP to preserve security.

+\fBTechnique:\fP
+.sp 1
+\fBKCheckPass\fP is a simple password checker. Just invoke and send it the password on stdin.
+.sp 1
+If the password was accepted, the program exits with 0;
+.br
+if it was rejected, it exits with 1. Any other exit code signals an error.
