I 'm trying to use the passwd --stdin option to pipe a plain text
password through passwd so it gets encrypted and set properly (since
this is my first attempt at writing shell scripts and whatnot). Just for
testing, I 'm running this code at the command line. This is the syntax
I 'm using:
echo password | passwd --stdin username
It 's says all tokens updated successfully but when I try to log in using
the new password, I get a login incorrect. If I type:
passwd username
And type the password at the command prompt, I can then use the password
to login. What gives?
