Password change

Need to change unix password programatically, new password will be given at runtime from the application, so can we write a shell script for password change or can call passwd command in a program

Hello,

You can call the password command from a script.

Hi,

there is a 'mkpasswd' utility on our SuSE-Linux boxes. If you have such a system at hand, use this or port the command in using the available source text.
