Hi, I have this command to create an FTP account: # pure-pw useradd mario -u 502 -g 502 -n 1000 -N 200 -d /home/pages/gamito This command asks for the password twice. I need to pass the password (preferably without expect) so I can create the account without prompting. If i run: # echo secret | pure-pw useradd mario -u 502 -g 502 -n 1000 -N 200 -d /home/pages/gamito It reads the first insertion, but asks for the second. I knew how to do this a long time ago, but I've forgotten and couldn't find anything useful on Google. Any help would be appreciated.
