I'm trying to use the passwd --stdin option to pipe a plain text password through passwd so it gets encrypted and set properly (since this is my first attempt at writing shell scripts and whatnot). Just for testing, I'm running this code at the command line. This is the syntax I'm using: echo password | passwd --stdin username It's says all tokens updated successfully but when I try to log in using the new password, I get a login incorrect. If I type: passwd username And type the password at the command prompt, I can then use the password to login. What gives?
