A partial hit with ssh -t -t except I think it empties the input buffer when prompting for the password a second time, which is a shame. The best I've got to is with a here document on the command line like this:-
Code:
# ssh -t -t localhost passwd TESTUSER <<-EOSSH
> Qwerty99!
> Qwerty99!
> EOSSH
TESTUSER's New password:
Enter the new password again:
3004-781 Password read timed out.
3004-709 Error changing password for "TESTUSER".
Connection to localhost closed.
#
How annoying is that, unless anyone can spot that I've missed something. I've tried piping another echo Qwerty99! into the ssh and without the - for the -EOSSH, but all getting the same result.
Bah! Am I just hoping for too much? I fancy that some manual work and an edit of /etc/security/passwd or /etc/shadow is looming.
