The very commonly asked .. but unanswered requirement for a password change script
Noob question ..

My Java based application needs to change some user passwords based on some user actions. Since this application can run on Redhat AS2.1 / AS4.0 / Solaris 9 etc, the most safe and portable solution that I could think of was: Use expect.

Now, expect is not available on all platforms, and I don't want to install tcl / tk / expect to be able to run my application. So, what's the simplest way for me to achieve what I want to?

Keep a expect binary and required libraries in a local directory in the application? How can I do this? Any other ideas
