New UNIX password: %PpnV40bt ------------ but the password of temp remains the old one. new passwd is not applied. i am using expect-5.39.0-96.1 . One more thing. I have been using older versions of expect on older versions of linux and it is working perfectly. I tried those older versions of expect also on RHL 9 but still mkpasswd not working. WHAT COULD BE THE POSSIBLE PROBLEM. thanks -- :) Atishay Kumar Btech, SEM VII DA-IICT Gandhinagar - 382009 India ph: +91 9825383948 /**************************************************************************** * Learn the rules as you would need them to break them properly * ****************************************************************************/
