Assuming you dont mean actually generating the password maybe you need the -h fd flag to pw or more specificly (from the manpage) pw will prompt for the user's password if -h 0 is given, nominating stdin as the file descriptor on which to read the password. Note that this password will be read only once and is intended for use by a script rather than for interactive use. so something like echo PASSWD | pw add user wibble -h 0 will create a user wibble with password of PASSWD or echo $PASSWORD | pw add user $USERNAME -h 0 setting $PASSWORD and $USERNAME as needed.

Non Interactive passwd change via script....
Hi everybody its been a few days now, since im trying to do a tcsh script to automatize the process of creating users in my system Users register via web, and info is saved in a MySQL DB and in a file. the script reads from the file and begins adding users with pw. but im stuck on how to create the password for the users. the only solution that worked was the use of expect, but it consumes a lot of resources (7.8%System). Now that isnt a problem cause the users are few. but if it has to add a lot of users?? it will kill my server any hints will be apreciated. thanks a lot... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
