amoorti,
First let me say welcome to the forums, but please ensure that you
read the rules. Crossposting is not permitted within the forums, so I have removed your duplicate post from the UNIX For Advanced and Expert Users forum.
I know you can enable password history under
Solaris 10 but as far as Solaris 8 goes I'm unsure. One of the Solaris gurus will clear this up for you I'm sure. You could always try something like
npasswd.
Cheers
ZB

Hello all,
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.
