batch password assignment

[Andy Sun]

Hi,

Sometime ago a question was brought up in this group on how to assign
passwords to a bunch of users using file redirection or the like. I
wasn't paying attention at that time but I would like to know it now.
Can someone who remember/know e-mail/post on how one can assign passwords
using 'passwd' using file redirection (or juggling file descriptors, I
don't remember exactly how)? Thanks in advance.

Andy
