Hello,

I have included a clip of some code that uses Expect.  This is ran from the
command line by our account creation script.  It takes the output from a
random string generator and stuffs the input into 'passwd' which is normally
interactive.  I hope this gives you some ideas.

See ya,

#!/usr/bin/expect -f
# wrapper to make passwd(1) be non-interactive
# username is passed as 1st arg, passwd as 2nd

set force_conservative 1
set password [lindex $argv 1]
spawn passwd [lindex $argv 0]
sleep .1
expect "password:"
sleep .1
send "$password\r"
sleep .1
expect "password:"
sleep .1
send "$password\r"
sleep .1
expect eof
