Thanks System Shock. That worked. You're the man!
Thanks System Shock. That worked. You're an expert!
One more question,
Is there anyway that I can reset user's password using ssh command?
ie. emulate passwd command with a default password of abc123 or even null value?
> ssh server1 pwdadm user1 < /dev/null
or
> ssh server1 passwd user1 < /dev/null
neither worked for me.. but you know what I mean... I couldn't emulate enter keys.
I know this method is not recommended, but I've got more than 40 servers, and I don't want to login to every server to reset passwords.
Thanks.

yppasswd
yppasswd(1) General Commands Manual yppasswd(1)
NAME
yppasswd - change password in Network Information Service (NIS)
SYNOPSIS
yppasswd [name]
DESCRIPTION
Note
If Enhanced Security is enabled on your system, use the passwd command to change your password, even if NIS is in use.
The yppasswd command lets you change your password in the Network Information Service (NIS) map, a network data base service. Only you or
the superuser can change your NIS password.
When you enter the yppasswd command, the program prompts you for the old password and then for the new password. Note that the passwords
are not displayed on the screen.
Next, the program asks you for the new password again, to verify that you have typed it correctly. If you do not type the passwords cor-
rectly, you will receive an error message after you enter the new password.
Your new NIS password must meet one of the following requirements: It must be a combination of at least six alphanumeric characters, or It
must be a minimum of four characters, with at least one being non-alphanumeric, such as a control sequence.
Note
The passwd command does not change the NIS password. This command only changes the local password file (/etc/passwd), and not the NIS mas-
ter password file.
ERRORS
Your new password does not meet the minimum length requirement. You misspelled your new password or its verification. Your new password
can not be activated. It must be different from your old password and your login name.
FILES
Password file NIS directory
