All,
I have a question about changing a password while running C2
security. I am writing a ksh script to change a password on multiple (24)
Alpha servers without using the passwd command or using the dxaccounts GUI.
Has anyone written a script to do this? The problem that I am having is
that when I "sed-in" the new encrypted password (edauth -g username | sed
<change u_pwd to use the new passwd> |sed <insert the new seconds into
u_succhg>), the password does not work. I just get "sorry" when using su or
"login incorrect" when directly logging in. Do I need to update any other
fields other than u_pwd and u_succhg? Should I include a copy of the
script? By the way, I am generating the encrypted password with a call to
PERL crypt. Do I maybe have a problem with using PERL crypt since it does
not call crypt16? Thank you in advance for your reply!
