now, for reasons i really cant begin to delve into, i have to find a way to be able to rmeotely create user accounts and also assign them passwords. unfortunately, it appears Sun boxes frowns upon this. sun boxes will let u create a user account remotely but will never let u assign the useraccount a password.
how can i make this happen?
ssh rocket 'useradd johndoe' <------ This works.
ssh rocket 'passwd johndoe' <------- This DOESN'T work.
I get "Permission Denied"
does anyone know of a way to get around this?
