Passmass on Trusted Systems

[Jack Bauguer]

Hi,
Im trying to use the passmass script on Trusted systems, the problem is with the following lines :
# passwd root
Changing password for root
Old password:
Last successful password change for root: Sat Jul 31 14:00:32 2004
Last unsuccessful password change for root: Fri May 7 12:00:27 2004

Do you want (choose one letter only):
pronounceable passwords generated for you (g)
to pick your passwords (p) ?

I want the option (p) But I dont know how to include this in the passmass script. I have been trying to modify but im a complete disaster when it comes to scripts.

Does someone allready managed to do this?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Jack,

You can ignore the options by changing the security policies.So it will take you directly to the New password after Old password prompt

SAM>Auditing and security>System Security Policies>Password Format Policies>Password selection Options

Select only User Specifies
