hello,

I'm looking for a way to change a common password for several users in one passe via a script or something else.

does anyone have an idea ?

Assuming you have the usernames mapped into a text file, you could do: while read username; do echo "newpassword" | passwd --stdin $username done < ./list_of_usernames_in_a_file You can type the above at the CLI (bash). You'll need root priveliges. HTH, -- Thomas Adam __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Free Pop-Up Blocker - Get it now http://companion.yahoo.com/
