Hi all,
This was brought up before, but the archives didn't really answer my
question.
I'm trying to get my script to reset a password for me via the passwd
command. Keep in mind, I'm very new, so if this is dumb, try not to laugh:
#!/usr/bin/perl
open(handle, "| passwd joeuser");
print handle "password\n";
print handle "password\n";
close(handle);
Here's what it spits out:
Changing password for user joeuser
New UNIX password: Retype new UNIX password:
New UNIX password:
New UNIX password:
passwd: Conversation error
Then it dies. I know I'm doing this wrong. Any ideas?
Thanks!
