Re: [Fab-user] /usr/bin/wall through fab

or perhaps this might be easier?

echo username:password | chpasswd

Christian has the right idea here. For example, when changing the
password for a user, it turned out much easier to do it with sending a
file and executing it than trying to juggle the inputs. So, for
Ubuntu, I could use three commands:
    echo "usertochange:newpassword" > foo
    sudo /usr/sbin/chpasswd <foo
    rm foo
