Hi Sandeep,
Assuming that you have the user names in ``/tmp/users'', something
like this would work (lines may wrap):
perl -MCPAN -e 'install Crypt::PasswdMD5'
for i in `cat /tmp/users`
do
p=`mkpasswd`
ep=`perl -e "use Crypt::PasswdMD5;print
unix_md5_crypt(\"$p\",substr(time(),-8))"`
usermod -p "$ep" $i
echo "Password for $i is $p"
done
Save the output of the script!
Send me a pizza when it works :-)
Regards,
-- Raju
