@Rudic, as previously stated, there is nothing wrong with the way it changes the password. There is something wrong with the loop. Everything the way it is, correctly changes one password for one server, but it doesn't catch the rest of the servers.

Well, good thinking, NO, when I ran the command by itself on the command line, giving it the server name manually, it hung for Solaris 10 box (prdcatap1).
root@tstnglbz1 # ssh -n munsbxlinux1 'echo -e "TestPW12345!\nTestPW12345!" | passwd mcha>
New password: BAD PASSWORD: it is too simplistic/systematic
Retype new password: Changing password for mchavoshi.
Password has been already used.
Password changed.
Code:
root@tstnglbz1 # ssh -n munsbxlinux2 'echo -e "TestPW12345!\nTestPW12345!" | passwd mcha>
New password: BAD PASSWORD: it is too simplistic/systematic
Retype new password: Changing password for user mchavoshi.
passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.
Code:
root@tstnglbz1 # ssh -n munsbxlinux3 'echo -e "TestPW12345!\nTestPW12345!" | passwd mcha>
New password: Retype new password: Changing password for user mchavoshi.
passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.
