Exclamation Change Password In A Shell Script

Hi All,

I have a problem.

I need to write a shell script to change the password. The user may want to change his own password by this script.

He will have to provide the required 3 parameters i.e. old password, new password and retype new password as arguments in command line.

like, ./pass.sh old new new

How do I do it. I am in a fix.

I am not allowed to use expect etc.

Please help me.

Thanks.
Asimananda
