how to Remote Reset Password for User ?
Hello, everyone i have a little scenario and would like help ,
SCENARIO
OS : SunOS 5.10
Shell: KSH
UserName 1 connects to Server1 .He should run a little command or somthing to server2 that Resets the password of user2.
i have tried this :
Code:
 ssh user@server2 '/usr/local/bin/sudo passwd user2'

it doesn't work because of the permission, the user that i try to connect to the remote server hase permission of ALL in the SUDOERS on the remote server so when i connect directly to the server and do SUDO it works, remotly it does not

mono-server2-admin

MONO-SERVER2-ADMIN(8)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				     MONO-SERVER2-ADMIN(8)

NAME

       mono-server2-admin - mono-server2 hosts file creator, hosts file is part of the debianized mod_mono package

SYNOPSIS

       mono-server2-admin.conf [action] [args]

   OPTIONS
	 Actions:

	   add	      Use 'add' if you want to create an application and want mono-server2 scripts to manage it
	   del	      If you want to remove an application

	 Args:

	   --path     The path where you have your aspx files, MUST EXISTS!, required only with add action
	   --app      The name of your application
	   --libs     If you have dlls outside your path, you must use this!
	   --port     Needed if you are running multiple virtual hosts in different ports in Apache
	   --vhost    If you want to add asp.net support to a virtualhost you must use this. Example: foobar.com

DESCRIPTION

	mono-server2-admin.conf is a perl tool to adminstrate your ASP.NET webapps that will be executed with
	mod_mono.

	When you try to add an application, admin.conf will verify that your path exists, if it is, it will
	add a directory inside /etc/xsp/conf.d with the name of your app, and also as a file with the
	filename format: 10_appname. This file will have the information (path, app).

	So, when mono-xsp-update.conf is executed it will read those dirs and create a debian.webapp in
	/etc/xsp that the xsp daemon will read, also with a mono-server2-hosts.conf that will have your
	directory settings with apache directives. Apache will read mono-server2-hosts.conf!
