/bin/sh script. Need to change a users password within the script based on a file of user/pass I am feeding the script. Easy. Except the passwd command does not seem to be able to take a password as an argument - I don't think that the passwd command can run non-interactively. So how is this done ? It looks like the adduser script does it non-interactively somehow ... but I don't see how. Thanks.
