Get Dan Bernstein's "pty" package (available from the comp.sources.unix
archive in volume 23). Then, you can run "pty passwd" instead of just
"passwd" and pipe the username and password into it.
I suspect you can also do this with Don Libes' "expect" program (available
in /pub/expect.shar.Z on uunet.uu.net, and in other locations as well).
