Hello..

I am trying to change all passwords. I have a flat text DB with all
usernames and new passwords. However using 'passwd' requires a human to
type the new password twice for it to be entered. But I need to do it
from perl.

so my question.. is there any passwd scripts that allow a single command
line to change the password? such as 'passwd USER NEWPASS'?

..thanks..

..rick
