Hello,
I was wondering if there is any open source program that will allow root to
change anyone password from the Comand Line? Not like that interactive one
that ships will all unices, but one which you can pass the password for the user
to the program though a parameter.
The normal process of change a password goes like so
# passwd username
#Enter New password: *****
#ReEnter Password: *****
#Password has been changed.
I would like to do it from a script like so
# passwd username -p !pass56
#Password has been changed.
I know this is insecure way of doing this, but the only people that should be
on the system in the first place is admins, it is nothing more than a workstation, not
even a server, plus I don't really care, so
I am willing to take this security risk..
Or would there be anyway to change a password inside a script with the normal
password program?
Thanxz
