How can I change the password of a user and not be prompted to verify
it.  We are changing our mail server to sendmail.  I have all of the
passwords in plain text.  I want to write a script that changes all 5000
or so passwords.  How can I do this?  I would like to call passwd or
some command from a perl script to do this.  Any Ideas would be very
helpful.

Thanks
Noah Davidson
