Package: passwd Version: 1:4.1.3.1-1 Severity: wishlist Hi,
Please support reading passwords from stdin in passwd (restricted to root only). It's a bit related to #505640 imho, but instead of all the quirks to get the encrypted password back from pam just depend on the right pam.d/common-password. Pipe the unencrypted password to passwd and let pam do his job. The current method is to use passwd with expect but the solution is quite slow, so passwd --stdin would be preferable. michael -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.23-grml64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.iso885915, LC_CTYPE=en_US.iso885915 (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages passwd depends on: ii debianutils 2.23.1 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii libc6 2.7-16 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libpam-modules 1.0.1-5 Pluggable Authentication Modules f ii libpam0g 0.99.7.1-3 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libselinux1 2.0.59-1 SELinux shared libraries passwd recommends no packages. passwd suggests no packages. -- debconf information excluded -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
