Hi folks,
I was (am) looking at both mkuser taking a file as input and/or adding
chuser (with limitations). However, as far as I can tell, all of our
other programs that manipulate passwords do so interactively. Obviously
I can fake this but with Ben's new libpasswd does it make sense to
extend setpasswd to take password as a param or maybe create a mirror
function that works non-interactively and accepts password as a parm?
The other question there that I don't know the answer to is: Is there a
security risk in doing so? (Of course I'm not sure it could be any more
of a risk that the passwords sitting in the input file?)
Thanks!
