I would suggest going to www.cpan.org and getting the md5 package for perl. Or even better, I'm sure someone has wanted to do this same thing or something similar and might have even written all or most of the script. CPAN is the place to look. On Tue, 11 Jun 2002, Keller, Tim wrote:
Does anybody know of or created a script that can change a users password without human intervention?
or on a side note, does anybody know how to in perl hash a textual password into a MD5 hash that would be suitable to be inserted into a shadow file.
Thanks, Tim. _______________________________________________ Wlug mailing list Wlug@mail.wlug.org http://mail.wlug.org/mailman/listinfo/wlug
