Since Solaris passwd does not have --stdin option can you advise how to change the password for 30 users with a script. The password can be the same one. I`ve tried already echoing, xargs, cat and similar.
Thanks.

Done it, thanks to my colleagues for suggesting this
One bash script with
Code:
#!/bin/bash
USERS="bob john carry"
for user in $USERS;
do
echo "Changing password for" $user
./chpass.exp $user
done
One expect script called ./chpass.exp
Code:
#!/usr/local/bin/expect -f
set force_conservative 0 ;# set to 1 to force conservative mode even if
;# script wasn't run conservatively originally
if {$force_conservative} {
set send_slow {1 .1}
proc send {ignore arg} {
sleep .1
exp_send -s -- $arg
}
}
set username [lindex $argv 0]
set timeout -1
spawn passwd $username
match_max 100000
New Password: "
send -- "test1\r"
expect -exact "\r
Re-enter new Password: "
send -- "test1\r"
expect eof

I have turned off PermitEmptyPasswords in sshd_config, but a user with empty passwd (deleted by passwd -d user) can still login without password, why? it is big security concern, linux doesn't have the issue.

srptool
srptool(1) General Commands Manual srptool(1)NAME
srptool - Simple SRP password tool
SYNOPSIS
srptool [options]
DESCRIPTION
Very simple program that emulates the programs in the Stanford SRP (Secure Remote Password) libraries using GnuTLS. It is intended for use
in places where you don't expect SRP authentication to be the used for system users.
In brief, to use SRP you need to create two files. These are the password file that holds the users and the verifiers associated with them
and the configuration file to hold the group parameters (called tpasswd.conf).
OPTIONS --bits BITS
specify the number of bits for prime numbers (used only when the --create-conf option is used).
--create-conf FILE
Generate a tpasswd.conf file.
-h, --help
Prints a short reminder of the command line options.
-i, --index INDEX
Specify the index of the parameters in tpasswd.conf to use.
-p, --passwd FILE
Specify a password file.
-c, --passwd-conf FILE
Specify a password configuration file.
-s, --salt SALT
Specify salt size for crypt algorithm.
-u, --username username
Specify username.
--verify
Just verify password.
EXAMPLES
To create tpasswd.conf which holds the g and n values for SRP protocol (generator and a large prime), run:
$ srptool --create-conf /etc/tpasswd.conf
This command will create /etc/tpasswd and will add user 'test' (you will also be prompted for a password). Verifiers are stored by default
in the way libsrp expects.
$ srptool --passwd /etc/tpasswd
--passwd-conf /etc/tpasswd.conf -u test
This command will check against a password. If the password matches the one in /etc/tpasswd you will get an ok.
$ srptool --passwd /etc/tpasswd
--passwd-conf /etc/tpasswd.conf --verify -u test
