If you're resetting them to some standard password, it's a simple for loop. You'll need to set the password for one of them so you get a valid hashed value:

#!/usr/bin/sh
USERS=$(cat /var/tmp/userreset.lst)
PASSWD="your hashed value here"

for USER in ${USERS}
do
/usr/sam/lbin/usermod.sam -p ${PASSWD} ${USER}
done

/usr/sam/lbin/usermod.sam ? Nice, didn't know that one :-)

If I could assign points here, you'd get some !

Hi,

In Trusted Servers,

#!/usr/bin/sh
USERS=$(cat /var/tmp/userreset.lst)

for USER in ${USERS}
do
modprpw -m exptm=value ${USER}
done

(*) exptm=value database u_exp=(value*86400).

Set password expiration time interval (days).
0 = expired. Same as non-trusted mode
maximum time.

rgs,
