Hi there. I've been forced by circumstance to write an expect script to handle password updates on a number of servers. There's a mix of Solaris 8, 9, 10, RedHat and Ubuntu. There's no chance the client will allow us to hook them up to a directory, so we have to make do.
This script is mostly... (0 Replies)

Newbie here. My goal is to have the expect script log into the Ubuntu 18.04 server and run two commands (lsb_release -a and ip addr) and eventually pipe the output/results to a file. For now, I would be happy to get this one command or two to run successfully. How to fix this?

mkpasswd
MKPASSWD(1) General Commands Manual MKPASSWD(1)
NAME
mkpasswd - generate new password, optionally apply it to a user
SYNOPSIS
mkpasswd [ args ] [ user ]
INTRODUCTION
mkpasswd generates passwords and can apply them automatically to users. mkpasswd is based on the code from Chapter 23 of the O'Reilly book
"Exploring Expect".
USAGE
With no arguments, mkpasswd returns a new password.
mkpasswd
With a user name, mkpasswd assigns a new password to the user.
mkpasswd don
The passwords are randomly generated according to the flags below.
FLAGS
The -l flag defines the length of the password. The default is 9. The following example creates a 20 character password.
mkpasswd -l 20
The -d flag defines the minimum number of digits that must be in the password. The default is 2. The following example creates a password
with at least 3 digits.
mkpasswd -d 3
The -c flag defines the minimum number of lowercase alphabetic characters that must be in the password. The default is 2.
The -C flag defines the minimum number of uppercase alphabetic characters that must be in the password. The default is 2.
The -s flag defines the minimum number of special characters that must be in the password. The default is 1.
The -p flag names a program to set the password. By default, /etc/yppasswd is used if present, otherwise /bin/passwd is used.
The -2 flag causes characters to be chosen so that they alternate between right and left hands (qwerty-style), making it harder for anyone
watching passwords being entered. This can also make it easier for a password-guessing program.
The -v flag causes the password-setting interaction to be visible. By default, it is suppressed.
EXAMPLE
The following example creates a 15-character password that contains at least 3 digits and 5 uppercase characters.
mkpasswd -l 15 -d 3 -C 5
