Sorry,
Forgot the important bit.

and search for 'expect'. You may need to install tcl as well.

Had a lot of good responses to this one. The answer seems to be a free
utility
called 'expect'. The prize goes to Stuart Hartley for being the first
respondant to land in my inbox. Greg Freemyer has done something similar
with a
'c' program. I'll go with expect as I reckon there are a whole bunch of
reasons
that I can find to use it.
Thanks to all,
Bryan Mills.

I need to be able to set up 800 users on a newly installed TRU64
server. I have created a shell script which cat's a file containing the
login and then loops for each issuing a useradd command, specifying login
shell, home directory etc. What I can not achieve is to assign a default
password to each login using the passwd command. Does anyone know how to
do this within a script?
Thanks,
Bryan.
