Not really... But you can try writing directly to the password file which may be either "/etc/passwd" or "/etc/shadow" depending on u're system config Using u're favorite "crypt" function you can create passords per user and write them in the relevant field of each user Don't know if its advisable though! If u're an incompetent programmer (:p) you may end up screwing up u're shadow file -- arc_of_descent ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com _______________________________________________ linux-india-help mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-india-help
