Error script not working as intended for password[SOLVED]
Hi

I have a script which uses expect and I run it on solaris 10 to set a common password for all users. I run it as `./script password` but when I tried to log into the system then I do not really have to type password, pressing ENTER on keyboard logs the user into system. (ssh)

This below is script and I feed it with a file with user names.


Quote:
#!/bin/ksh

ChangePasswd()
{
/usr/local/bin/expect <<EOF
set newpassword [lindex $argv 0]
spawn passwd $user
expect "New Password: " ## not expect "password:"
send "$newpassword\r"
expect "Re-enter new Password: " ## not expect "Re-enter"
send "$newpassword\r"
expect eof
EOF
}
#while read -p "Enter Userid:" user
while read user
do
if [[ $user != '' ]];
then
ChangePasswd $user
fi
done <ab
################### ab is file with user names

any one ?well atleast give me a ready solution on setting passwords for large users either password = userid or password = common for everyone

I would make the users change passwords at first login later, which need not be part of script.just need to set password easily.


Also if please remember the script will be run on solaris 9 or 10 OS and not on Linux Smilie

Thanks

/usr/local/bin/expect <<EOF
spawn passwd $user
expect "New Password: "
send -- "$2\r"
expect "Re-enter new Password: "
send -- "$2\r"
expect eof
EOF
}
#while read -p "Enter Userid:" user
while read user
do
if [[ $user != '' ]];
then
ChangePasswd $user $1
fi
done <ab
## ab file has the list of users whose password I am changing

I run the above script as ./script <password I want>

that sets the password for all users to what I want ! Smilie
