hello, mkpasswd is not working in fc2 and RHL 9. if i type mkpasswd it generates a random password. if i say mkpasswd -v temp it generates a new password i get following: ----------- spawn passwd temp Changing password for user temp. New UNIX password: %PpnV40bt ------------ but the password of temp remains the old one. new passwd is not applied. i am using expect-5.39.0-96.1 . One more thing. I have been using older versions of expect on older versions of linux and it is working perfectly. I tried those older versions of expect also on RHL 9 but still mkpasswd not working. WHAT COULD BE THE POSSIBLE PROBLEM. thanks -- :) Atishay Kumar Btech, SEM VII DA-IICT Gandhinagar - 382009 India ph: +91 9825383948 /**************************************************************************** * Learn the rules as you would need them to break them properly * ****************************************************************************/ - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-admin" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
