Hello,

Sorry for another off-topic post.

I am creating a user on the command line with:

pw useradd myusername -g mygroup -s /sbin/nologin -c description

I now need a way of setting the password on this account, but it must
be none-interactive as I want to call it from a Perl script.

Any ideas?


Thanks

Ian
