- How could I change the password of a user in a non-interactive way?
- I intend to capture the old and new password' strings from a MMI (Man-
- Machine Interface) entry and then make a call to the system to make the
- change effective. But the command "passwd" doesn't accept any parameter.
- Is there any way I could do such a thing?
-
- Thank You very much in advance.
