Possibley Script

Skeletellay, extract contents of the /etc/password file & capture the first colum (username) into a array
- cat /etc/passwd | awk -F 'print $1' >> into <array> (check syntax)

Then loop each entry & run a passwd command. Caputure whether sucessful or not - passswd will prompt for the password again if unsussful upto 5 attempts so you wil need to disable this ( again non-syntax script below)

for each $i in <array>
'passwd $i $i'
if 'id' = $i then
'exit' (i.e. logout)
'echo $i is password to $i' >> results.txt
else
'echo $i is not the password to $i' >> results.txt
end if
exit


Of course, this probably won't work, but hey I enjoyed writing it!

NAME
pwconv - installs and updates /etc/shadow with information from /etc/passwd SYNOPSIS
pwconv DESCRIPTION
The pwconv command creates and updates /etc/shadow with information from /etc/passwd. pwconv relies on a special value of 'x' in the password field of /etc/passwd. This value of 'x' indicates that the password for the user is already in /etc/shadow and should not be modified. If the /etc/shadow file does not exist, this command will create /etc/shadow with information from /etc/passwd. The command populates /etc/shadow with the user's login name, password, and password aging information. If password aging information does not exist in /etc/passwd for a given user, none will be added to /etc/shadow. However, the last changed information will always be updated. If the /etc/shadow file does exist, the following tasks will be performed: Entries that are in the /etc/passwd file and not in the /etc/shadow file will be added to the /etc/shadow file. Entries that are in the /etc/shadow file and not in the /etc/passwd file will be removed from /etc/shadow. Password attributes (for example, password and aging information) that exist in an /etc/passwd entry will be moved to the corre- sponding entry in /etc/shadow. The pwconv command can only be used by the super-user. FILES
/etc/opasswd /etc/oshadow /etc/passwd /etc/shadow ATTRIBUTES
