[Sunhelp] About changing password

[Jarrett Carver]

Write a perl script using the Crypt:DES libraries to DEs encrypt the new 
passwords. You can also use several freely available password generators to 
automagically generate "good" passwords for you. Then just use your list of 
users to create a /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow file with the DES encrypted 
passwd. If you use NIS or NIS+ you will need to make sure you add the 
appropraite commands to the script to add those entries.

Of course that's assuming some familiarity with perl ;-)

Hi, everybody

I want add thousands of users in Solaris 2.6, and I don't want using the 
command of passwd to change every user's password. How can I do it 
automatically?

Thanks

Regards,
Ronald
