Server list in PassMass
Hi there-

I'm using passmass to change my user passwords on a few remote hosts. I'm going to be using it on additional systems in the near future, and as such I'm going to have to expand my server list within passmass. Right now I simply use the standard passmass format of "passmass -user john server1 server 2 etc". I currently use it on 10 servers.

Starting next week I am going to be using it on over 200 servers. I can't use the standard paramters to start the script very easily, so I was wondering if anyone has used passmass with an external server list. That is, have a text file of servernames and have passmass work its way through it. Anyone done that? Is it possible?

If anyone has any ideas on how to get this done I would greatly appreciate the help.

Thanks.

Hi.

i have no idea what is passmass but you could create a file with all your servers and try this:

awk '{print "passmass -user john " $0 }' serversfile | csh

if others have better idea please share
