not quite there
here is my "remote change passwd" script:
----------
#!/usr/bin/expect -f
#
set force_conservative 0
#
set timeout 1
spawn ssh root@srv
match_max 100000
expect "Last login: *\r\r
\]0;root@srv:~\[root@srv root\]# "

send -- "passwd USR\r"
expect "passwd*\r
Changing password for user *.\r
New password: "
send -- "PWD\r"
expect -exact "\r
Retype new password: "
send -- "PWD\r"
expect -exact "\r
passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.\r
\]0;root@mail:~\[root@mail root\]# "

send -- "/home/vpopmail/bin/vpasswd USR@domain.com\r"
expect "/home/vpopmail/bin/vpasswd *\r
Please enter password for*: "
send -- "PWD\r"
expect -exact "\r
enter password again: "
send -- "PWD\r"
expect -exact "\r
\]0;root@mail:~\[root@mail root\]# "

send -- "exit"
....
--------------------
This works great if I fill the values for USR & PASS in the script.
How can I pass these from the command prompt like:
#./myscript.exp USR PASS
and make the script use these

Thank you for the support

vipw

vipw(1B)					     SunOS/BSD Compatibility Package Commands						  vipw(1B)

NAME

       vipw - edit the password file

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/ucb/vipw

DESCRIPTION

       vipw edits the password file while setting the appropriate locks, and does any necessary processing after the password file is unlocked. If
       the password file is already being edited, then you will be told to try again later.  The vi(1) editor will be used unless the  environment
       variable VISUAL or EDITOR indicates an alternate editor.

       vipw performs a number of consistency checks on the password entry for root, and will not allow a password file with a "mangled" root entry
       to be installed.  It also checks the /etc/shells file to verify the login shell for root.

FILES

       /etc/ptmp

       /etc/shells
