How would I telnet & change user password automatically in a script
I would like to create a script that logs into a list of several servers 50+ and changes my password all at once.
Every 60 days we are required to login to each system and change our passwords or else they expire and our login account is deleted.
I have an idea on how I could do this but have not tested whether you can run just a basic telnet in a script to automatically change to a predetermined password.
This has to work on AIX, Solaris, HP-UX, & Linux.
All of the existing passwords are the same for my account so no logic would have to be built for exceptions.
What would be the best way to do this?
