Hi,
In my current project I must develop a script which will automate changing password. Manually I cannot enter the password. The script has to provide the password. When I checked the passwd command option I could not find --stdin option. Please let me know any solution for this
echo "Password \password"| passwd --stdin root
did not work
reason
1: --stdin option not available.
2: echo not putting the "Password" in new password: option
Thanks & Regards

Sorry, I don't understand your question. Could you tell me more details about it? Where to use the script to change the password?
My responsibility to develop a installation script. As part of the script I have to configure password for root user.This password configuration should be automated. Password should not enter manually.
So i tried some command configuration . And I found that in yocto linux for the command passwd does not having --stdin option.
I am looking for some other options by new commands or modifying /etc/shadow file.
