PASSWD

This utility allows changing passwords on the command line or from within a Batch file (non-interactive) instead of the usual CTRL-ALT-DEL dialog. It is also possible to change the password on remote domains or machines. No special privileges are necessary to issue this command (in contrast to the `net user` command, which allows password changing as well, but only for users with administrative privileges). Intended for: * Users who come from other operating systems like Unix or VMS and think it is unnecessary to do everything with a GUI interface. * Users who want to automate tasks like password changing in a batch file or want to force users to change passwords in their logon script. * Allow password changing for users who (can) never physically log on to a computer with the CTRL-ALT-DEL dialog, but use this computer for a PPP connection or log on through a Telnet connection. * Now with source code and distributed under the GNU General Public License
