Subject: Creating password for command on the fly
Date: Fri, 16 May 2008 09:35:33 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <91df29a20805160135l2d811216rcecf9aa1ad8eee4e@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hi,
I have this command to create an FTP account:
# pure-pw useradd mario -u 502 -g 502 -n 1000 -N 200 -d /home/pages/gamito
This command asks for the password twice.
I need to pass the password (preferably without expect) so I can
create the account without prompting.
If i run:
# echo secret | pure-pw useradd mario -u 502 -g 502 -n 1000 -N 200 -d
/home/pages/gamito
It reads the first insertion, but asks for the second.
I knew how to do this a long time ago, but I've forgotten and couldn't
find anything useful on Google.
Any help would be appreciated.
Warm Regards,
Mário Gamito
