Title: Password Changes on Multiple Servers?
Post by: Teejeaux on March 24, 2006, 12:41:37 AM

I've got approximately 45 Linux servers that I need to change my user password on every three months. This takes a lot of my time to logon to each server, run passwd, answer the questions interactively, and then logoff, of each server. The number of servers I've got just seems to be going up, and it's getting longer and longer to do this. Does anyone have a way to change your user password on multiple servers using some sort of script? I'm using Putty for my SSH client.

Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

I'm using Sudo to gave some sort of security and auditing.  Nobody uses Root as their login.  We need to change all the user passwords.
