Hello, I'm new in Python, i don't know my subject is correct or wrong. I have problem with my script. I want to change password with passwd password in python without user submitted anything from keyboard. I get tutorial that i must use pipe to process this. And this is my code :
[code] 1. 2. #!/usr/bin/python 3. 4. import os 5. 6. COMMAND = 'passwd' 7. PASSWD = 'mypassword' 8. 9. # open a pipe to passwd program and 10. # write the data to the pipe 11. p = os.popen("%s" % COMMAND, 'w') 12. p.write(PASSWD) 13. p.write('\n') 14. p.write(PASSWD) 15. p.close() 16. [/code] but i got this error : [output] [EMAIL PROTECTED] cp]$ ./password Changing password for user cp. Changing password for cp (current) UNIX password: passwd: Authentication token manipulation error [/output] Anyone can help me how to write to pipe.. i try several method, and always fail.
