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.

Hi All,
Is there a simple and obvious way to see when an account was created.An account has come to my attention in /etc/passwd and a last on it shows having never logged in and the home directory looks to be a couple of years old.
Just wondering if I'm over looking anything obvious.

pwconv
pwconv(1M) System Administration Commands pwconv(1M)NAME
pwconv - installs and updates /etc/shadow with information from /etc/passwd
SYNOPSIS
pwconv
DESCRIPTION
The pwconv command creates and updates /etc/shadow with information from /etc/passwd.
pwconv relies on a special value of 'x' in the password field of /etc/passwd. This value of 'x' indicates that the password for the user is
already in /etc/shadow and should not be modified.
If the /etc/shadow file does not exist, this command will create /etc/shadow with information from /etc/passwd. The command populates
/etc/shadow with the user's login name, password, and password aging information. If password aging information does not exist in
/etc/passwd for a given user, none will be added to /etc/shadow. However, the last changed information will always be updated.
If the /etc/shadow file does exist, the following tasks will be performed:
Entries that are in the /etc/passwd file and not in the /etc/shadow file will be added to the /etc/shadow file.
Entries that are in the /etc/shadow file and not in the /etc/passwd file will be removed from /etc/shadow.
Password attributes (for example, password and aging information) that exist in an /etc/passwd entry will be moved to the corre-
sponding entry in /etc/shadow.
The pwconv command can only be used by the super-user.
