Running zLinux as Guests on zVM is fantastic until it comes time to
reset your password across multiple servers. The guest servers are
multiply like rabbits. We are a shop new to Linux on the mainframe and
have a question.
Is there a way to apply without using LDAP, or to issue a series of
commands like passwd across multiple servers either through SSH or other
method from a single server. Where should I point my "learning curve" to
resolve this? I am new to scripting, but how different from REXX can it
be?
Thanks in advance for any comments and insight

LDAP is clearly the perferred solution for this situation. However, if
you don't want to do that see chpasswd. Somthing like...
echo 'user:newpass' | chpasswd
... could be pushed out to the other servers using ssh.
