#OUTFILE=out.xml
prefix='EDSAD150'
password="asdf1234"
pass=$(perl -e 'print crypt($ARGV[0], "asdf1234")' $password)

for i in 01..02;do

usname=$prefix""$i
yes $pass | yppasswd $usname

done


I want to change the password of the users but when I run this script I have to give the server password every time because I am usingyppasswd command . But when I used passwd command the NIS files won't change.
