Change all users password using script on HP-UX server

krishnarjun — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 05:20:55 GMT

We have a HP_UX where we have a number of user ids and we also have the list of old passwords .
Now we want to change the password of all the users and assign them a default password.Can we write a shell script to do that.

with the --stdin option of the command 'passwd',we was doing earlier on SUN server as root

Any suggestion or sample script for HP-UX server will help.

thanks

in case of number of servers not (number of users) I would recommend to use webmin bulk operations.

it is possible what you want but maybe Perl script is better handled it.

You might be able to use /usr/sam/lbin/usermod.sam to modify the password.
