Hi all,

I have a small problem and I don't know how to deal with it: I need to
change the password for a bunch of users in a Solaris 8 server, and I was
wondering if there is any way to automate this task via script or by
performing a bulk insert of users passwords in the system (I don't want to
manually change the password for hundred of users :-) ).
Unfortunately, solaris passwd command doesn't support the "-stdin" switch
that can be found on linux version of passwd, so things are gettin a little
bit more complicated.

Thanks in advance for your help.

David Arroyo
