password change

[Patrick]

Hi,

On unix system is it possibble to change the password of a user from a
var?

like:

system("passwd $user");
print("$password\n");
print("$password\n");

But this doesnt work. Passwd is waiting for a input.

It's hpux so --stdin doesnt work also.

Perhaps this posting from Randal will help:
