Re: Password change script

Hello Brian,
 
We use SSH to do the trick. We haven't had the time to look into NIS yet so we made some small perl-scripts to use with Samba and passwd (our clients are running Windows).
 
With SSH you can do the following:
SSH your_server '/usr/bin/passwd username'
 
I know this isn't the most secure way to do it but it's running behind severel firewalls and only sys-admins are allowed on this lan. So it's working for us and might do the trick for you.
 
Regards,
Frank Nørvig

Subject: Password change script

Does anyone have or know of a script/program (preferably perl) that
could be configured to change a users password on all linux machines on
a network. I know a nis server would be better but we don't have enough
linux machines yet to require one (only 7 linux servers).

Thanks
Brian
