ksh script to change passwd
Hello All,
I am trying to change a user passwd (one time password):
cat /tmp/passwd
mnop1234
mnop1234
#passwd abcd < /tmp/passwd
(for some reason, it is not able to input the password from /tmp/passwd and comes back with "New Password: ")
Is there a work around except using "expect".
thank you.

Can anyone assist me with this?
I am on AIX 5.2 ML06. I create the user and assign a passwd. But I do not want the user to change the passwd at all. I like him/her to use the passwd that I have set for him/her. Any ideas would be highly appreciated!!!
Thanks. (3 Replies)

yppasswdd
RPC.YPPASSWDD(8) BSD System Manager's Manual RPC.YPPASSWDD(8)
NAME
rpc.yppasswdd -- NIS update password file daemon
SYNOPSIS
rpc.yppasswdd [-d directory] [-noshell] [-nogecos] [-nopw] [-m arg1 [arg2 ...]]
DESCRIPTION
rpc.yppasswdd must be running on the NIS master server to allow users to change information in the password file.
The options are as follows:
-d directory Change the root directory of the password file from ``/'' to directory. It is important to create the binary database
files (pwd.db and spwd.db) when using this switch or the password change will fail. The databases need to be created
only once with the following command:
pwd_mkdb -d directory directory/etc/master.passwd
-noshell Don't allow changes of the shell field in the passwd file.
-nogecos Don't allow changes of the gecos field in the passwd file.
-nopw Don't allow changes of the password in the passwd file.
-m arg1 [arg2 ...]
Additional arguments to pass to make in /var/yp.
FILES
/etc/passwd
/etc/master.passwd
