This worked perfectly! Thank you.
Now I just have to figure out how to automate it in a script to provide a
prompt (some of these kids are new users! So I'm trying to make it as easy
as possible for them...)
Thanks!
remove the b from the options, and it will prompt.

Hi All
Does anyone know of a quick/painless way to create an encrypted
{crypt} password via the command like on Red Hat? I need my users to
do this and I don't want them to have to write much syntax, etc., as
that will be too much for them. I was hoping there was some built-in
(or other) method that allows creating an encrypted password,
depending on what the user types in for the password.
Thank you!
Anne
Do you mean something like what htpasswd does?
$ htpasswd -cb jones.passwd jones Pwd4Steve $ cat jones.passwd $ cat
jones.passwd jones:P9D.NILQAK/KM
