Thanks to many people for their ideas. A few people said NIS, which isn't an option, and someone, who obviously lives in a world with blue sky (it's purple in my world), who said the application owners should be responsible for their passwords. The other responses came in 2 varities: use expect to interact with the passwd command or use sed/awk/perl to edit the shadow file. Thanks to all who answered, if you have an opening for a 7 year Solaris admin in your blue sky world please let me know, the purple is begining to drive me crazy. ----original message---- Joe Reid wrote: > I have 40 machines with 6 application accounts I need to be able to > change the password on every couple of months.
