Thanks sameer, when I was writing a program for crypt, I
realized that there is an easier way, I did
passwd pass --stdin < amish
where amish is a file where I store the new password and pass is
a use I created to test passwords.
Definately this is not secured since anyone can see the
file amish, so I will impliment it taking proper
precautions.
Thanks for the help.
