All,
I am regularly going to have to reset 150 user's passwords and set them to a
chosen default password, then forces them to change it. I have set up a
here script to do this, but the script does not enter the password into the
password prompt and instead waits for you to type in a password, I have
tried numerous different methods but without success. The script is very
basic, I can't believe there is an issue with it: -
#!/bin/ksh
#
## Variables
USERLIST=/var/tmp/userlist.txt
## Main
for USER in `cat $USERLIST`
do
passwd $USER << EOF
defaultpw
defaultpw
passwd -f $USER
EOF
done
TIA,
Carl
