Hi all,

I'm a newbie in Unix World. I have read the manual for command
'passwd' but are not able to fully understand it and are hoping that
you will be so kind to help me out.
My questions are:
1) How to get the 'passwd' command to read the 'passwd' from external
text file? Meaning the command can complete without we physically key
in and reconfirm the password,, instead it read from teh external
file.

2) Will the -stdin option help? If yes how or if no is there any other
way to go around it? 


Thank You for your kind help

daniel

Hi Daniel,
i can�t help you directly, bat i can give you following hints:
if you get the password input from a file, its very easy to hack it.
if you get the password input from standard input and call it from a batch,
then its more easy:
so i can start the loop:
while :
do
  ps x OR ps -aef
sleep 2
done >$Myhome/Password_collectfile.txt &
after two weeks i can filter all your passwords, that you ever typed
because above, getting passwords from a file or from standard input is
usually protected. the must be a way but sorry, i don�t know it.
best regards,
Niru Madani
