hi. when you say system calls, does that mean system("somecommandhere"); ???
if you do...i dunno of any native command or utility that changes the
password
from a parameter. if u look at the passwd command, it's interactive. i
suppose
you can program "expect-like" here. else, you can go straight to the
password or
shadow file and insert the encrypted passwd using crypt in perl. problem is,
if your system uses MD5. at this point...i'm at a loss na.
vince.
