Hello,
I'm trying to get some scripts working which would take a password
from stdin and set it for root. In Linux "passwd --stdin" is used, in
FreeBSD "pw mod user root -h 0". How would I do this in OpenBSD?
Thanks, Lucian
in addition to the already provided tip... consider this:
Disable root password logins completely. Change the (encrypted)
password to something nonsense or one or 13 "*"s, and use either sudo or
SSH keys to get root acceess. This has the added advantages of no one
having "extra" access by having root pw, no need to share/distribute
root pw, etc. And unlike a number of other Unixes, this works very nicely.
