UNIX/LINUX TECH NOTES: Changing Linux user's password with script
Dear Honglus,
Thanks for ur reply.
I want to create a script for password changing which will take password from text file.
Meaning , suppose i will write some password like , user = XYZ password = 1234 in text file.
How can i retrieve the password for rquired user by script ?
Pls help about this regard as soon as possible.
Waiting for feedback.

Should someone point out to you that doing this is ridiculously bad? Clear text passwords are a no-no.
