non-interactive password

2004-04-24 Thread Louis LeBlanc
Hey everyone.  I'm trying to recreate a password script that sets
passwords (as root on the local system only).  The trick is that it
must change the password non-interactively.  I had this working, but
when the system was trashed, the script was lost.

Can someone refresh my memory on the command format?

Thanks.

Lou

  echo $password | pw usermod $user -h0

Might do the trick.
