DESCRIPTION
     checkPassword is used to confirm a password for a particular user

     the process command line.

     The checkPassword command has the following required parameter:

     -l login-name
          The login name of the user account whose password is being checked.

DIAGNOSTICS

     invalid, checkPassword will terminate with a non-zero exit code.  If the
     password is valid, checkPassword will terminate with exit code zero.
