Hi all,
How a non-root user can change his password some what like this: <commandToChangePassword> -oldpassword old -newpassword new.
"usermod" command will get password as argument. But this can only used by the root. I want to know is similar command avialable for normal-users? Any one plz help me.....
Thanks in advance.
"passwd <username>" or just "passwd"

you use "expect" ----------------------------------------- #!/usr/bin/expect -f set user devuser set password PASSWORD
spawn passwd
expect "user name:" send "$user\r"
expect "password:" send "$password\r"
--------------------------------------
