Password (AIX UNIX)
Need Help,

I am new in unix. (AIX UNIX - RS 6000).

I need a unix script to be able to change a unix password
by just passing the user id and the new password.

I need this script for the reason that my unix password
should be the same on my applicatiion password.


Thanks,
Randy
