Yes, it's for Openldap. Unfortunately, slappasswd is not installed on any of our Red Hat boxes (60 of them). It's only installed on the one OpenLdap box. I wanted them to be able to log into any of the boxes, run the create new password commands, and then copy the encrypted output and send to the administrator so he can change their passwords on Openldap without knowing what their password actually is. Is there a way that you know of that they can copy and past in their own encrypted password, bypassing having to send them to the administrator to do it?
Why can't you just properly configure nss_ldap so that the passwd command does the right thing? Failing that, write a quick Perl script that mimics passwd. Involving the administrator at all seems unnecessary here.
