Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello, I'm trying to use pw in an account setup script but I've got a problem with it, it doesn't seem to accept neither commandline supplied passwords nor the random generation of those. The man page states that there's a filedescriptor interface but I'd prefer to not mess with that stuff if possible in anyway. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
