Hi Perderabo
The script is really great. But in my system the option print -p and telnet is not working. I only have ssh and sftp enabled in the system.
This is working in Linux but not in solaris.
(sleep1; echo $OLD; sleep 1; echo $NEW; sleep 1; echo $NEW;sleep 1) | passwd
Is there any other way to do this in solaris......
Hi Perderabo
It is really a good script. In my machine print -p and telnet are not working. I am having sftp and ssh to write this type of script. I tried changing your script and implement it, but its not working. Is there any other way to change the password on multiple SunOS machines.
The below command is working fine in Linux but not in SunOS.
(sleep1; echo $OLD; sleep 1; echo $NEW; sleep 1; echo $NEW; sleep 1) | passwd.
Could you please advice.

echo
echo(1B) SunOS/BSD Compatibility Package Commands echo(1B)
NAME
echo - echo arguments to standard output
SYNOPSIS
/usr/ucb/echo [-n] [argument]
DESCRIPTION
echo writes its arguments, separated by BLANKs and terminated by a NEWLINE, to the standard output.
echo is useful for producing diagnostics in command files and for sending known data into a pipe, and for displaying the contents of envi-
ronment variables.
For example, you can use echo to determine how many subdirectories below the root directory (/) is your current directory, as follows:
o echo your current-working-directory's full pathname
o pipe the output through tr to translate the path's embedded slash-characters into space-characters
o pipe that output through wc -w for a count of the names in your path.
example% /usr/bin/echo "echo $PWD | tr '/' ' ' | wc -w"
See tr(1) and wc(1) for their functionality.
The shells csh(1), ksh(1), and sh(1), each have an echo built-in command, which, by default, will have precedence, and will be invoked if
the user calls echo without a full pathname. /usr/ucb/echo and csh's echo() have an -n option, but do not understand back-slashed escape
characters. sh's echo(), ksh's echo(), and /usr/bin/echo, on the other hand, understand the black-slashed escape characters, and ksh's
echo() also understands a as the audible bell character; however, these commands do not have an -n option.
OPTIONS
-n Do not add the NEWLINE to the output.
