I don't  know. I've never  used checkpassword-reply  so you may  have to
just run it and see what happens.

You could try to run both:

checkpassword checkpassword-reply

http://cr.yp.to/checkpwd/interface.html

Which states:

The information supplied  on descriptor 3 is a login  name terminated by
\0,  a password  terminated by  \0, a  timestamp terminated  by \0,  and
possibly more data.  There are no other restrictions on  the form of the
login name, password, and timestamp.
