Creating User accounts by Script

[Fixles]

Hi,

I have written a very simple script that creates sco user accounts on 4 servers using useradd and rcmd commands.

The problem is that i can execute the passwd $user command on the server i am running the script but i cant execute rcmd server -n passwd $user

Is there a command line util i can use to change a user password? i.e passwd user password

Many Thanks,

James

Why not use NIS?
