Whenever you find yourself trying to do
echo password | secure_tool or
secure_tool 'commandline password' now is the time to rethink your strategy, as in the 21st century, no security system will accept a stored password without a fight.
There are two ways forward.
- Install insecure, third-party cracking tools which will make the path of maximum resistance just barely possible.
- Try some other way.

I am not fine with editing the sudoers file as anyone can then login with this id without password.
Only if you allow sudoers to allow anyone to login to this id without a password. You can also tell sudo to only let
some or
one ID do so. Or only let someone in a particular group to do so. Or both.

nwuserlist
NWUSERLIST(1) nwuserlist NWUSERLIST(1)
NAME
nwuserlist - List Users logged in at a NetWare server
SYNOPSIS
nwuserlist [ -h ] [ -S server ] [ -U user name ] [ -P password | -n ] [ -C ] [ -a ] [ -q ] [ -f [ -d ] [ -D ] [ -t ]]
DESCRIPTION
nwuserlist lists the users logged in at a NetWare server, together with their connection number and their login time.
nwuserlist looks up the file $HOME/.nwclient to find a file server, a user name and possibly a password. See nwclient(5) for more informa-
tion. Please note that the access permissions of $HOME/.nwclient MUST be 600 for security reasons.
OPTIONS
-h
-h is used to print out a short help text.
-S server
server is the name of the server you want to use.
-U user
user is the user name to use for login.
-P password
password is the password to use for login. If neither -n nor -P are given, and the user has no open connection to the server, nwuserlist
prompts for a password.
-n
-n should be given if no password is required for the login.
-C
By default, passwords are converted to uppercase before they are sent to the server, because most servers require this. You can turn off
this conversion by -C.
-a
With option -a the IPX address of the station the user is logged in from is printed as well.
-q
With option -q object ID is printed in addition to user name.
-f
List also files opened by each connection.
-d
List detailed informations about each file.
-D
List DOS filename instead of filename which was used for opening.
-t
Show raw hexadecimal values in addition to human readable conversions.
