Something along these lines should do it:
usermod -p `perl -e "print crypt('newpasswd', 'XX')"` userlogin
replace XX with a relatively random two charact
I though there was away to change someone's passwd and force them to
change it the next time they login. What am I missing?

Not an expert, but you can use the --stdin option with passwd to accept piped
input and it will not prompt for confirmation, but it will handle encryption,
etc. as usual. Try something like the following at the command line for a
test:
echo "" | passwd --stdin

Yes, I know, but that will be a fraction of second, and also if one uses
history command one can see more than 1000 commands that one typed
earlier (by default). But I would like to implement it for different
reason.

By using "crypt" and a bit shell script will do the changing. But it is
very low encryption policy, but one want to use different encryption
policy that support in linux, then one has to find other than crypt

You might want to check out the usermod command. The only catch is that
you have to encript the
Hi Kiran,
Keep in mind that when passing the password on the command line, people
will be able to see other's password using the ps command (while
changing the password).
I think it is enough to avoid doing it.

That doesn't answer the question...Kiran appears to want to be able to
change a password (I'm assuming another user, and doing it as root)
without being asked to confirm the password a second time.
On that note, I'll start out by saying that, if it is possible to do,
it's dangerous. If you, a

ooops! I know how to change a password in normal way. I want to add some
stuff, I want give the command like
passwd <--- please not that password is also at
command prompt
instead of giving:
passwd
---
as a root user
I think u got the point...

if you're changing your own password then just do:
passwd
if you're logged in as root to change someone else's password do:
passwd username
and... well... that's about it! :)
man passwd
may help you too!

Hi,
How can I change the password at the command line itself,
for ex.: passwd
I want to eliminate the confirmation.
Thanks

Seems you're trying to use tools that are not compatible with PAM and
shadow passwords on a box that needs them (4.2 didn't have PAM,
