As someone else mentioned, use -h switch to pw to modify a user password command line using pw. As an example a recent PHP application I worked on I added this as a comment: /* use popen to create a stream to the command: pw adduser -q -u user -g group \ -s shell -d /home/user -c comment -h 0 and then write the password to the file pointer created by popen. This effectively adds the user to the passwd database whilst at same time setting the password. This saves listing the password in 'ps' listings. */ // adduser command: $pw_cmd = $cfg['prog']['pw']. useradd .$data[username] . -g g.$data[id] . -s $shell . -d .$data[root] . -c \.$data[name].\ . -h 0; // Open a uni-directional stream to the command: $fp = popen($pw_cmd, w); // Execute the command, passing the $data[password] to it: fwrite($fp, $data[password]); // Close the pipe: fclose($fp); -- Jez Hancock - System Administrator / PHP Developer http://munk.nu/ ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
