I tried to set NOPASSWD for this sudo attempt, but we are unable to do it, because i could not able to see /etc/sudoers file in my box..
And eve it's available also, dont think so that we are allowed to set it as we are not admins of my unix box..
Is there any way to automate the passing passwd through file or variable when script is excuting..? I tried many ways, but no luck.. it's not taking the passwd in correct format..
Please advice me on this...
Thanks in advance..
Regards,
VRN

Hi,
Tried the below code for passing passwd... it went fine in one unix box... but it's not executing from other boxes... am not getting the reason why it's not working from other boxes..
Code:
#!/usr/bin/bash
id=`id | awk '{print $1}' | awk -F"(" '{print $2}' | tr -d ")" ""`
#Here, 'id' will give the user id.
pwd=`gzcat /home/$id/.srlpw.gz | tail -1`
echo "\$pwd" > /home/$id/passwd
chmod 700 /home/$id/passwd
sudo su vobadmin < /home/$id/passwd <<eof
echo id has changed successfully
eof
can anyone please let me know the reason for this.. ?
