Hello : I need some help. I want to write a some sort of script that would allow me to change a users password in one command from the command line The command line would be something like this change_password username oldpassword newpassword The problem is that I don't know a command in FreeBSD that will allow me to do this. passwd requires that you manually type the info in and in my very virgin state of Shell programming I am not quite sure how to do this. Any help would be appreciated Thanks Bill Sandiford
